Sat, 23 May 2009 19:15:43 -0700

From the page: "As some of my faithful readers from the old days at thePuckWrites may remember, I wrote the story, quests, and designed the classes for an upcoming online game called Ghostees!. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work, and since I know that many young creatives feel drawn to games (I know I do) I thought I would do a series about what is necessary when writing for a game."

Former MySpace Execs Get Funding For New Venture; Some Details Leak

Wed, 20 May 2009 01:15:00 -0700

From the page: "Remember when MySpace lost three key execs before the whole chaotic reorganization? They announced their departure in March. And we�ve now confirmed that they are closing a substantial round of funding, even before they�ve picked a final name for the company.

The company, whatever it will be called, was founded by Amit Kapur (MySpace COO), Steve Pearman (MySpace SVP Product Strategy) and Jim Benedetto (MySpace VP Technology). The company is now backed by August Capital and Redpoint Ventures, who jointly funded a roughly $10 million venture round. David Hornik from August and Geoff Yang from Redpoint have joined the board of directors."
