The game has now changed, you can get a flip camera [...]
If I were a solicitor…
A week or two ago I tweeted the following, “If you were a solicitor, what would you use Twitter for”. I did this because I was visiting a solicitors that day and wanted to show both the power of crowd sourcing but also what other people’s ideas were. I was pretty overwhelmed by the response [...]
What’s your social footprint like?

If you’re new to the location based games world then [...]
