BBC News – Other Sources

I see that the BBC News website has introduced a “From Other News Sites” box on some of their stories. According to the explanation, this facility is supplied to them by Moreover, and I’ve got to say it is a useful tool for discovering more about a story you’re interested in. I guess the big question is whether some sites will get dropped for reasons that might go against the BBC’s own guidelines – maybe including swearing in the linked pages, or material that the BBC might not be legally able to publish. I’d suggest that although this link is automatic, it’ll be monitored very carefully for sensisitve stories by editorial staff.
UPDATE: The Beeb have now announced this technology as Newstracker
