I've set up an rss feed over at Google Alerts that enables you to subscribe in near real time to a flow of articles about ThePactProject as they are indexed by Google's bots. This is a good way of monitoring whatever mentions we get elsewhere on the web.

Just add this link to you'r rss reader, or employ Google Alerts for all your purposes–it's availble by email as well.

(Note: Currently it contains only stuff from our own site, I've since added a filter to exclude that.)

Our director/producer duo Henrik and Anders have just been heard on the air on the Swedish national radio's P3 Kultur program. The stream can be heard here, fast forward to the second hour of the program.

ThePactProject is proud to announce that it has today received initial funding for the MEDEA (site, blog) research program at Malmö University. The program aims for co-production in collaborative new media, creating new initiatives for exchange between industry and the research community.

From the statement:

"Upon assessing the applications we focused on the following:

• potential
• realism
• effectiveness

We were able to provide funding for ten applications and in stiff competition the board has decided to endorse your application!"

ThePactProject celebrates this decision and expects this to be the starting point for a long and rewarding cooperation. We will return shortly with our plans.

Badabing.

Quite importantly the site now features a social bookmarking function. There's been a range of services to choose from: Add this, Add to any, Share this, Tell a friend and other permutations. Anyway, the benefits they all have in common is to allow users to spread the word on content that we put up, one-to-one or one-to-many using their own social networks and whatever means of communication are in their comfort zone.
