Siobhain Butterworth (Readers' Editor, The Guardian) has in advance of tonight's "Learning To Talk" event.
In The Guardian, Â鶹Éç Children's Marc Goodchild in a piece about MyCÂ鶹Éç [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 Â鶹Éç hiring Kazaa's Anthony Rose to run its online media player was like the Royal Navy signing up pirate Jack Sparrow...
