London 2012 topics on bbc.co.uk
by Claire Stocks, Assistant Editor, 麻豆社 Sport Online
There is not one part of the 麻豆社 that will not be involved in London 2012 over the next four years. This is why in mid-August we will be launching an online 2012 portal which will pull in content from every part of the 麻豆社, from news and sport to C麻豆社, from national TV to local radio, as well as linking to 2012-related content on the wider web.
The portal is one of the new Topics pages on bbc.co.uk which aggregate content automatically. As Topics project leader Matthew McDonnell explains in his blog: “ uses a variety of search techniques to create feeds of the latest 麻豆社 content from news articles, programmes available to watch on iPlayer, weather forecasts, news videos, country profiles and information from the TV and radio schedules. 麻豆社 editors then add in hand-picked articles and features from around the 麻豆社 and other websites.”

The London 2012 Topics portal will be launched in time for the Beijing closing ceremony on 24 August, which will feature an official handover to London mayor Boris Johnson, marking the moment when London officially becomes the host of the 2012 Olympics.
