The British Broadcasting Corporation plans to develop its online presence by providing social networking sites based on its most popular brands such as Top Gear, a BBC spokeswoman said on Thursday.
The world-renowned broadcaster is looking to tap into the popularity of such sites as MySpace, in which users contribute comments and video footage to share with other users.
The spokeswoman for BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the corporation, said there was no time plan in place but that it expected to continue to develop its online service over the next year.

I must admit, I always found their comment forums rather clumsy to use. Often, I tried to log in and post a message, only to find something had timed out, or there was a tech glitch. I do hope they will use new technology to power the proposed sites.
