World's their oyster... give it to the Director General? Feed random twitters from presenters live and concurrent with shows on radio and TV, make major announcements, be a channel of response to when the BBC becomes the news.

Make it relevant, useful, real time. run by a mix of feeds and hoomans. I'm sure they could make it an awesome Twitterer to folllow. 140 characters a time.

For posterity, here's @bbc with just 43 followers (Jan 29 2009)

Wonder if they can make it massive.

I'm not talking about Twitter being used as a BBC News service (although a BBC Breaking News feed like the ticker on the BBC News site might be useful in addition to their normal news feed). No, I mean it should be used as a place to go for an official statement from the BBC about news relating to them.

Imagine the next Ross/Brand-style controversy. Even if the initial tweet was just "DG Mark Thompson is to make a statement at 2pm" it would be a worth doing as people would know something was being done and they were getting it straight from the horse's mouth.

They won't because they can't. Unlike the many people who follow and retweet breaking Twitternews, news corps. have to check their facts. Take the other crash today 25/2/09 Twitter was all a buzz with a crash at Denver Centennial Airport without anybody actually seeing the crash. It transpired 20 minutes later (a long time in Twitterland) that a light aircraft's landing gear had collapsed and no-one was seriously hurt. If you were a broadcaster you would of been hung, drawn and quartered, and if it was the BBC a week of analysis of why the BBC was hung, drawn and quartered.
