Three more execs leave what’s left of Zynga. Maybe someone can buy Zynga AND RIM. Anyway, if you’re still there, start looking.
This is interesting. Disney will have an iPad app/game that interfaces with Infinity. That’s an interesting bit of interfacing that is probably worth paying attention to – building a full game/multitechnology interface.
A look at video game copyright and just who may – or may not – own what for some old games.

OK it’s not the first, but Wattpad is releasing a crowdfunding function on their platform. They’ve come far since that interview so long ago . . .
Now this is intriguing period since in a way some people have leveraged recognition gained from social networking for promotion in a less integrated manner. This formalizes it. Watch this, because if it works it may validate the model elsewhere.
Why have a few general sources of crowdfunding when you can have specialized ones?
Of course this also builds things for Wattpad . . .

Victoria Shockley, who we interviewed previously, has her new children’s novella, “The Elevator” coming out soon. You can find out more here: http://victoriashockleywrites.wordpress.com/. Here’s her blurb:
“Gorb the gnome operates an elevator in an upscale hotel. When three businessmen get stuck in his lift, their only chance of escape is to work together. But with a clashing of personalities, that proves difficult.
Gorb has a plan. Will his tale about the fantastic kingdom of Eggslandia be enough to inspire the group to collaborate and find a way out?
The Elevator and its story within a story share a lesson in the importance of teamwork.”
Sounds like something to check out. Give it a look!
