Weekly digest of W3C news and trends: Automotive and Web Platform Business Group, W3Conf live stream, BBC supports DRM into HTML5, ...

This is the 15-22 February 2013 edition of a “weekly digest of W3C news  
and trends" that the W3C Communications Team prepares for the W3C  
Membership and public-w3c-digest mailing list (publicly archived [1])  
[sent separately]. This digest aggregates information about W3C from  
online media, a snapshot of how W3C and its work is perceived in online  
media.

Notably this week :

- over 800 stories about W3C on Twitter in 7 days.
- almost 3000 mentions of W3C in 7 days, with a peak on 21 Feb (687  
mentions) that matches the start of our 2nd W3Conf, 21-22 Feb, San  
Francisco.

- With 55281 Twitter followers, net increase of 498 followers in the past  
week.
