Game Twits: Q's Games, Bacon Donut

I can't decide if I love or hate Twitter, or if I love to hate it. But I definitely hate people who can't stop talking about it. Which is why Rick Sanchez is my most-hated person in the world right now. That's also why I want to concentrate all Twitter references of my own to this semi-regular Game Twits series.

(Note: I'm 'borrowing' this whole concept from Valleywag. I don't know of any other site that does this for game industry people though, so it's open season as far as I'm concerned.)

 

EA's Jeff Green links to an IGN article and subconsciously forgets how to spell. Coincidence?

 Q Games boss Dylan Cuthbert and his team apparently has five non-PixelJunk projects in the works!

Area 5's Jason Bertrand preps for a delicious heart attack.

Booyah, the iPhone games developer started by a bunch of ex-Blizzard folks, moves in on Facebook's territory.

Insomniac reminds the world why it was ranked among California's best places to work for like the last ten years or something. 

 

Game Informer's Andy MacNamara had his year defined twice in one magical day. That he can't tell you about. But he can tell you that he can't tell you.

Twitter feels more like a product of today's internet action/reaction syndrome for speedy delivery, where ever you are you can make an update, and it in instantaneously available for all to read and react to. This is both a blessing and a curse, and personally I can't help but feel it is contributing to our society's short attention spans. By the way, that Gawker link to the [i]Twitterati [/i]made me cry, the fact that it exists is an abomination.

Tracey John, formerly of MTV Multiplayer, has been doing this for a couple of months now, [url=http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/category/game-developer-twitter-report/]first at the MTV Multiplayer blog[/url], and [url=http://gamedevelopertwitterreport.wordpress.com/]now the Game Developer Twitter Report is currently at a website entirely dedicated to that purpose[/url].

Man, this is really cool. Nice work, Demian. I think the commentary and non-developers make it so this can complement the Game Developer Twitter Report nicely.

10 years from now nobody will admit they had a Twitter account.

Twitter only seems to be valuable if your content has some type quality and no what you ate for breakfast.

What I like about Twitter is that it's a great way for me to follow updates on my favorite sites and events in my friends' lives all at the same time. It all comes to me. What I don't like is how it seems to create this abstraction of life as 140 character pithy comments. But as much as I'd like to see that deep, meaningful content will usher in a new era, in truth I think that economics will play a larger role; to the best of my understanding, Twitter is still working to implement revenue sources and the service's ability to endure will most likely be measured based on how invasive those tactics are.
