From the page: "Twitter and Facebook integration has come to two of the big three consoles of this generation with both the Xbox 360 and PS3 now allowing you to keep updated in between games.

Although your Playstation will automatically update Facebook when you earn a new trophy in a game, apparently that functionality is missing for Twitter (I own an Xbox 360 instead so can�'t test).

But Dirk Olbertz has come to the rescue " he emailed me to say that PS3Heroes.com now allows you to update your Twitter status with your new PS3 trophies. "

From the page: "I started to think about my own 27 year+ love affair with videogames (Writing that made me feel shockingly old all of a sudden - I started young!)

My own introduction to videogames was via a family friend who had a 48k Spectrum. I have memories of sitting around chatting and playing various games, before investing my time gently persuading my parents I had to have one."

From the page: "For a while it seemed as if building a third-party application for Twitter was a route to instant fortune (as were Facebook apps before it, and iPhone apps after it). But judging by the eventual sale of Twitter link tracker and aggregator Twitturly, it appears that bubble may now have burst."

From the page: "Anyone else making a link between the uproar when UK Home Secretary Jacqui Smith revealed plans for private businesses like chemists and photo shops to record fingerprints and biometric data for the proposed national identity card scheme, and the news now that T-Mobile UK employees have been caught selling consumer data to outsiders?"

From the page: "Although most people will have assumed that the @BarackObama account was staffed by members of his team and White House staff, it was easy to hope that a Blackberry-addicted new President might occasionally sneak a tweet in �" especially given the account is always in the first-person, and given messages such as �Humbled� on winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

But it turns out almost 2.7 million people are following the President�s team rather than the man himself, after he spoke in a Q&A session in Shanghai which was streamed on the internet. In it, he fielded a question about Twitter. His answer?

�oeI have never used Twitter but I�m an advocate of technology and not restricting internet access.”"

From the page: "The mainstream media interest in videogames has generally only been sparked by the regular doses of outrage at whichever game is currently corrupting our children. Which is why I�ve been so absorbed by the coverage of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, in which you go undercover and become part of a terrorist act �" and also the media coverage which seems to be a more balanced and mature look at video game morality than we�ve previously had (Probably because most people in their 30s have grown up with videogames and are reasonably likely to have a current generation console in their house)."
