andrewduckerI'd like to thank the BBC for putting the word "VIDEO" at the start of the headlines for all of the stories on their site which are predominantly videos*.
It makes it significantly easier to avoid opening pages which I either can't watch at work, or have no real interest in looking at at home.**
*On the RSS feed, that is. They use a little play button image on the site itself.
**I don't enjoy watching a talking head take five times as long to explain something than it would take me to read it myself. I'm not four, I can read for myself. The only time I'm interested in video news is when the image/footage itself is part of the news - i.e. rarely.
