However, there's no specific field for Twitter in the Ning profile form. So if you want more followers, please add your twitter name here. I'll create a public list of all the names added here - so you can just follow the list, and keep up to date with your tweeple.



Thanks, David…

What wrong with parochial interests?

Over on ScottishGames.net, David Thomson has pointed out the scale of the problem now facing the Scottish games industry, and I think he's pretty much spot on that we need companies that make games that inspire people, and companies that have the sticking power to last 20+ years in the industry.

Is niche the new hope for publishing?



It's all about Beverley... apparently.



The Guardian reports today that a popular hyperlocal blog based in Beverley, East Yorkshire, has expanded into a printed publication.



When I read the headline I must admit that the jaded, sceptical side of me thought it would die on its arse. But on closer inspection it seems like a pretty smart business model. What's smart about it?… Continue
