I've created a twitter account, finally. Sorry about taking so long. Also, can't seem to see many other people apart from Cam.
Also, searched for game store twitter account. Seem to use it for telling about sales, game releases, stuff like that smart move EB! Gmaetraders have different twitter accounts per store, could see specific information would be easily communicated through this.

Tame the Web
Hi all,
I just got around to looking at one of the blogs. You can see which one from the heading. This is probably an odd reason to choose a blog, but part of the reason I liked this blog is its layout. Having recent posts, comments and then categories down one side is something really simple that just made it easier for me on a old style CRT monitor. This is partly because I didn't have to scroll to the side to reach the top navigation buttons. Also, a number of the posts were more personal. This mae the site approachable enough for me to start looking at the site. It does have some interesting tech reviews also. Currently have a RSS feed set up from it.

Notability on Wikipedia
Hey,
just came across something interesting in Wikipedia. With articles, they want Independent, unbiased sources. However,one article for a movie character called Riddick has a problem. The only possible sources are the movies and games. This means all the information is dependent. Bit of an issue. I tried finding more sources to improve the article, but it was pretty much impossible. Interesting issue- how do you verify or determine the notability of subjects with this situation? I checked the talk page; the fans are frantically looking for outside sources.

Google Reader
Hey all, Google reader is pretty handy. It already picks up the blogs I'm following. I'm going to see if it does the same for everything, or if you have to do some subscriptions through google reader.
I've just checked. have to admit, it's very handy. I never knew GR existed until uni.
