Bcc: staff[at]monstervine.com, readers[at]monstervine.com
Hello,
MonsterVine has effectively been around for a month now. Congratulations to our staff and readers who have been sticking it along for the ride because we have alot to be proud of. In a short span of time, we have proliferated into the video game industry far faster that my initial predications. The strength of the staff in terms of writing have made our current situation possible. Our Quantcast profile has been a measure how vastly we have attracted our core audience from multiple outlets in the medium. Also, we have launched a forum (in a short amount of time I might add) that addresses the need to create a foundation for a growing community.
As you can see, I have decided to implement a wider layout for MonsterVine to accomidate post width, dubbed Version 1.1. In the coming weeks, I will continue to work on the layout and implement some much needed features that will bolster the site’s accessibility – social networking, bookmarking, a long awaited podcast feed, etc. Did you know lot of people use RSS feeds to gather their news?
In addition, I would just like to take this time to pimp out our End of the Year Awards Celebration feature due out for the duration of next week – December 22 to 26 where the staff has converged as a whole to talk about their picks for games in 2008 which will include platform and overall GOTY (Game of the Year). It is certainly the time to wrap things up for this year and we will be doing it in style with another community game night coming up before and after New Years. Keep coming back to MonsterVine for more details, coming soon.
