We Are The World

BBC Radio Scotland ran a short piece yesterday, to mark the opening of the Virtual Worlds Forum in London.

Rent-a-gob Baglow was, of course, on hand to provide thoughtful and incisive commentary on the issues facing virtual communities and online worlds.

For the next six days, you can check out the wit, the wisdom and the wonderful err, words on the BBC iPlayer.  Unless you're somewhere foreign (including Azeroth, Middle Earth, Arieki and Foreas)*

* Wilfully obscure MMO joke.  UPDATE: There's a neat prize for the first person to leave a comment telling us where these places are...

UK Sites Victorious In Global Web Awards

Not strictly a games related story, but one certainly well worth noting.  Last week's Webby Awards highlighted the UK as a hotbed of interactive and online goodness.  UK sites picked up 26 awards from the 119 categories on offer.

Major sites like the BBC and FT picked up multiple awards, while other homegrown talent like Moo, Wagamama and London Transport also gathered accolades and silverware.

Hurrah for the UK.
