By Mark Shenton 15 Mar 2012

The nominations for the 2012 Laurence Olivier Awards saw the RSC's production of Matilda the Musical, which has already announced its intention to open on Broadway in 2013, lead the way with ten nominations in the maximum possible categories for a musical, including a collective nomination for its four young actresses who share the title role as Best Actress in a Musical.

Also recognized with multiple nominations were Ghost the Musical, which begins performances on Broadway March 15, and the National's production of London Road, which returns this summer.

On the plays front, there was another shared nomination, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller nominated together for Best Actor in a Play for the roles they alternated in the National's Frankenstein. The National's production of One Man, Two Guvnors, still running at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, and The Ladykillers, running at the Gielgud through April 14, received five nominations each.

The nominations were announced in an event held March 15 at London's May Fair Hotel, which for the first time were also broadcast live online. They were announced by the 2011 Laurence Olivier Award winners Nancy Carroll and Roger Allam.

Sometimes some of my readers here complain that I do not cover Bing enough. The truth is, it really isn't my fault, it is Bing's fault. 🙂

Why? Well, this site is very niche in that it only covers topics found in forums and social media areas. We figure, if the SEO/SEM community isn't discussing it, it likely is not worth being covered here. Things at the top of the mind of SEMs are often discussed in forums and social settings - the rest is all just "news."

So why is it Bing's fault they aren't covered too much here? Well - they do a horrible job, recently, keeping their Bing Forums clean and on topic. Just check out the Webmaster section, it is filled with spam or check out the indexing section. It has been like this for at least a month or more. It is almost impossible for me to find good threads in forums filled with spam.

So I check in on the forum every morning and see this stuff and I leave - hoping that the next day it will be cleaned up and never is.

In fact, I felt that Duane's post on mobile SEO URL structure was important, so I made my own thread about it at the forums. No responses because the place is a spam fest.

So much so, people at WebmasterWorld are complaining about the spam in the Bing forums.

Bing, I want to cover you more - please help me.

Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.

Facebook, MySpace and Bebo are in the firing line from Cyber Safety Committee deputy chair, Alex Hawke, for allowing Australian children younger than 13 to use their websites despite a 13+ age restriction.

Hawke said that unless social networking websites show more responsibility, Parliament may be forced to impose regulations so there are effective measures taken to protect children and deal with online bullying.

He told Computerworld Australia that the options it is considering would include age verification laws which require social networking websites to verify the age of their users.

There has also been the question of an internet ombudsman as an option for people to have the ability to raise these problems with a central portal, he said. Were also encouraging social networking sites to open offices in Australia or at least have an arm which can be dealt with by Australians as a way of preventing regulatory response.

According to Hawke, Facebook is the only company to have appointed a representative in Australia.

He added that Parliamentary committees have heard the farcical suggestions from social networking companies that there are no children under 13 years of age on their websites.

The problem is these social networking companies continue to say `were offshore and there is nothing you can do about it when were dealing with profoundly young children using these sites and these companies really need to engage better with regulators in Australia, he said.

Hawke, who is also a Coalition MP, said that the Coalitions Online Safety Working Group is actively looking at the proposed regulations.

If we are returned to government, we will put in place policy in this area, he said.

Computerworld Australia has contacted Facebook Australia and is awaiting comment.
