Start Me Up – Great Lists of Links for Game Developers
HeyZap start-up honcho Jude Gomila posted this handy list of articles for start-up companies on Twitter. The list was compiled by Douglas de Jager, himself the head of a data mining start-up called BytePlay Limited. (All this is true, as long as my Google-fu remains strong)

I really think that the way I stumbled across Untold Entertainment for the first time should be shoved into the comment section:
