Phew! Quite the role call this week on the podcast from the origins of the web and blogging right around to a vast collection of animals online.

If we mentioned a place that you would like to visit online, then you can find all the links right here:

bbcmodelb.jpgThe ´óÏó´«Ã½ is working on a collaborative documentary about what the web has become and how it has changed us. Who better to kick off their work at an event than the man who is credited with creating the web? visited the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to talk about his creation and where it may be taking us and Chris Vallance managed to ask him a few questions for us.

Of course Sir Tim Berners Lee is an outstanding figure in our online existence, but at the same event was a man who might be dubbed the grandfather of the web. is Sir Tim Berners Lee's father and he very kindly spared a moment to tell me a little more about his involvement with the development of computing. I guess it must be in the blood with that family!

I was kindly invited to participate in a project where your questions were piped in via Twitter to ask the leader of the Liberal Democrats, Nick Clegg. Already the news organisation has developed systems to create public participatory political interviews with Labour and the Conservatives. I asked Nick Clegg about his tech life and had a chat with at Reuters about where this form of journalism could be headed.
