I think it is in the print edition too. Do I get a prize?

D'you know, I think those dolphins in the banner *are* leaving.

"Which is why Nick just said that it was in the print editon, not the online edition. .."
Indeed. Our posts crossed. (I was off copying from the search results while he was posting)

Can someone remind me what print is and can it be grown on trees?

Oh, and if I wanted to sell a printed thing should I advertise it online?

I still find it curious how something called "New Media Age" is printed.

I find it curious that, of all the "Sectors" listed down the left-hand side, the one obvious one that's missing is "Online/Social". It would appear that they only discuss websites that are connected to TV, Radio etc., but not sites like YouTube that keep their media self-contained or community sites like h2g2.

Excuse me, is this NMA magazine the only place this has been advertised ?
Would you terribly mind if we -the Community- would copy/paste the announcement to other media ?

Do we want to let lots of people know about it? Surely letting selected people know would help certainly, but do we want investment *ankers stumble across it?

It's in a publication. If anyone wants to point others to it, I can't see any problems with that. (Copying and pasting might pose some problems if not done properly.)

Martin, why would we want to do that?

Agreed, anyone who would be good for the site would know about this anyway, it's been widely covered everywhere.

Nick Reynolds Posted Feb 17, 2011
Hi all - since the announcement is now public it can be linked to from other places on the internet.
Linking would be my personal preference as this means more people will come to H2G2 itself.
Thanks

Here are two links for you to cut and paste: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/F77636?thread=8072491 http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/forum/F77636/thread/T8072491 I'd suggest you only use the first of these until the stability problems in Barlesque are solved.

Obviously I'd rather people linked to the new site, but I can't tell you what to do!
Cheers!
