Siobhain Butterworth (Readers' Editor, The Guardian) has in advance of tonight's "Learning To Talk" event.
In The Guardian, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Children's Marc Goodchild in a piece about MyC³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ [see Richard Deverell's February post] reaching 100,000 registered users: "Our research showed that while kids love the idea of sites like World of Warcraft, they are still quite innocent and quite nervous about joining."
The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ hiring Kazaa's Anthony Rose to run its online media player was like the Royal Navy signing up pirate Jack Sparrow...

Alan Connor is co-editor, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Internet Blog.
