MetaBroadcast Blog

Hi, my name is Chris Jackson. I’m one of the founders of MetaBroadcast, a start-up based in London.

As our name implies, MetaBroadcast makes software for manipulating audio and video metadata. We’re doing this because we’re passionate about helping people to easily find the best audio and video. There’s so much amazing material out there these days, from films to TV to shorter content, but it can be difficult to find the best stuff for you.

For just over a year we’ve been working with the BBC on a couple of innovative projects:

• URIplay, a community effort to improve the quality of metadata.
• Social Media Guide, an internal BBC prototype exploring ways of navigating and finding content.

At the moment we’re working on releasing this work as a mix of open source code, public APIs, and a consumer product.

We plan to use this blog to share and discuss a mixture of observations from our engineering and product design work. Let the fun begin!
