For a long time now I have been bringing you a quick analysis of eight current news stories every week. This is  stopping because I feel that the analysis is not getting the attention it deserves. Instead I will post single item news “shorts” as and when they crop up. This should keep the site content fresher and better reflect the news flow.

Well as these have become all the rage I thought that I would tell you mine: http://twitter.com/Bruciebabe

I am taking a week off to revisit one of the greatest cities on earth, Istanbul. It was the capital of the world under the Romans and again under the Ottomans. The layers of history, heritage and culture make many other great cities seem like villages in comparison.

So I am giving you all a week off from reading my diatribes. Normal service could well resume in about ten days.

Bruceongames is now a respectable body of work with over 460 articles, some of which have become “standards” and are now read by people every day. The blog has achieved everything I set out to do. I have expressed my views on a range of topics, proven that I can think and write and even become a little more well known. Some of my predictions have come true, others haven’t, but I am not unhappy with the success rate.

However creating this stuff takes a lot of time and I don’t get paid for it, the Google ads at the side literally only bring in pennies. So I have decided that there are better things I can be doing in my life than 5 articles a week on here. However I don’t want to lose the platform. So starting now I am going to try to generate just two articles a week. One in the first part of the week will be a proper article and the second one, later in the week will be an overview of bits of news that support my world view. It may pan out that there is more, or less. We will see.

A merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone. That includes the fanboys of all ages who hurl abuse at me out of ignorance, let’s hope they become more educated and open minded in the new year.

I am taking a little rest from writing these articles. Normal service should resume around the middle of January.

In order to be more sociable and to create an area for people with the common interest of the games industry I have started a Facebook group for Bruceongames. It is open for anyone to join, so please do. Just put Bruceongames in your Facebook search window. See you there!

So yesterday I signed up to two things that are hot at the moment. Twitter is microblogging. 140 character messages from mobile phone or computer. Full on it looks like this: http://twitter.com/public_timeline 
And here is my little beginning: http://twitter.com/Bruciebabe

Naymz is yet another form of social networking. But this time it serves as a central point for everything you do on the internet. Here is mine: http://www.naymz.com/search/bruce/everiss/2335582
It has good tools for importing your address book so it is easy to get going. If you can be found at multiple places on the web this makes good sense, as you can see from my entry.
