I will be setting off to San Francisco to seek out the geek fest that is GDC (or, to mere mortals, the Game Developers Conference).
Scoreloop (for who I am doing some work as you will have found out by now), are throwing a party (with PocketGamer and MPlayIt) and you should let me know if you think you should be there but an invite has escaped you.
We have some exciting stuff to tell (some may have seen the podcast we did with Motorola and MySpace and there is more to come), so please get in touch (contact form) if you want to meet.
As a result, I may be a little silent over the next week or so. Bear with me…
Blackberry maker Research in Motion is acquiring mobile content deployment solutions provider (quite a mouthful!) Chalk Media for $18.7m in cash. Chalk to what they call “pushcasts”, which – if I understand it correctly – is basically pushing podcasts to smartphones. The Vancouver-based company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, so it still requires shareholder approval, and the deal is therefore not closed yet.
