On Vacation

Tracey John — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:27:29 +0000

I’m on vacation, so the Twitter Report will be back on Monday (not on hiatus… hardy har har).

I advise all game developers on Twitter to take the rest of the week off as well so I don’t miss anything.

See you Monday!

It Lives.

Tracey John — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 20:20:24 +0000

You may have noticed that the MTV Multiplayer blog is still on hiatus. (And I can’t comment beyond that at the moment.)

However, due to popular demand, I’m resurrecting the Game Developer Twitter Report here in the interim. Therefore, people will still have something to waste their time with read during the workday.

And forgive the ugliness; I’ve still got some housekeeping to do. I also changed the format a little, and if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know.

Developers, if you’d like to be Twitter-stalked (or not), you can e-mail me at traceyjjohn[at]gmail[dot]com.
