PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

Some nice milestones this Father’s Day for some Friends of the Blog (TM)…

Congratulations to Joystiq, now running for 5 years! I knew we linked to the ‘stiq a lot (just see below), but now I think I know why that is: they posted 11,000 stories last year. Damn!

Also congratulations to Xbox Live Community Manager TriXie, who welcomed an addition to the family this week. The baby already has a Twitter account, which is either madness or genius. Either way, I’m totally copying that for my progeny. Note: I’ll be participating in a PAX Panel with TriXie and others (Steven from Platform Nation, for one) this September.

OK, enjoy your Father’s Day, whether you’re a father, a son/daughter, or both.
