I like the way you can tear-off tabs and re-attach them to a different
Chrome window - 'in-tab' pop-ups are a nice feature - It seems fairly stable

But perhaps thumbnail graphics aren't the way to go - wouldn't a dedicated news feed that was written in plainer English be more useful, users would then be able to choose stories from that feed and then have the full versions read outto them ?
Clearer news summaries would better all round.

Ben, et al. any chance we could look at implementing a web service to tack onto the existing BBC schedules site -
