Top Tweets: WWDC is this week's hot trend...
|

Just as the week before last's tweets were distinctly E3 flavoured, last week's tweets began and ended with a little known San Francisco event called WWDC (otherwise known as the World Wide Developers Conference otherwise known as Disney Land for Apple fanatics).

Three of Pocket Gamer's brave front-liners spent the week bravely tweeting from the frontline, in the land of the brave.

They managed to make a few friends along the way, too, who wasted no time in getting their micro-blog replies onto our cosy little Twitter channel.

Sandwiched between these nomadic missives from afar were all the usual twitteriffic posts about the pocket gaming day to day.

So if you're interested in pocket gaming in any way, shape or form (which let's face it, you probably are if you are reading this) then a subscription to our channel will do you no harm and Pocket Gamer no end of good.

Read on for the full breakdown.
