Today I was fortunate enough to be asked to an open meeting by Nick Shackleton-Jones, Head of Online & Informal Learning at the BBC. As well as several of his team and some people from BBC Blast, the meeting was attended by Sudhir Giri, Head of Online Learning at Google.

The meeting was conducted under ChathaHouse rules, but what was interesting to me, was that Sudhir spoke in a public-service way that would not be out of place at the beeb. So the companies have some common ground even though, in many other ways they are worlds apart.

Anyway, with a following wind, I will be able to do some research with Google and make an interesting compare and contrast between the world’s old biggest media brand and the world’s new biggest media brand…
