One more website to keep an eye on, Launched by the IGDA ARG SIG, looks pretty promising, with very understandable definitions of ARGs, a lot of tips for designers, an History of ARGs and much more.. As a bonus, the mighty Christy Dena is in it, check it out www.argology.org.

I am not sure if it is just an accident, or if Crossover Labs have anything to do with cross media production, but, seeing that they are directed by the digital media evangelist Frank Boyd, I would suspect they do. Calls are open.

DailyLit sends you books through the email, in an interesting evolution of the itinerant library.

One last experiment has been the participatory reading of Cory Doctorow’s novel Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice, and Tom Peters’ 100 ways to Success/Make Money.

You can follow any of the three

TwitterID: DailyLitMagicK
Cory Doctorow’s Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

TwitterID: DailyLitPride
Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice

TwitterID: DailyLitSucceed
Tom Peters’s 100 Ways to Success/Make Money

also through RSS feed.

(actually I was sort of disappointed, finding out that all they do is to refer to a web page with the chapters. I was hoping in some adaptation experiment, oh well, keep your expectations down and you’ll never be disappointed)

This is the kind of introduction to digital culture that makes me wish I were born in the 1990ies.. Nice.
