This is definitely what I will miss the most about @Skype.
@TheBobPony Saddest thing about this is that there is no other way to buy 10 bucks of credit to make international calls and SMS. Skype was the only service for this that isn't a scam.

Devastated to hear Tony Husband has passed away. A huge influence on me from his Oink! days, a total joy to work with (thanks for the latest cartoon, Tony!) and, when we met in his local, great fun too. RIP Tony. You’ll be sorely missed. (PS. He spoke so proudly of you Paul).
It is with a torn apart heart that I must announce the passing of my Dad. The beautiful @tonyhusband1

Always a sad day when a fantastic magazine closes. One of the best editorial teams in publishing.
Some sad news, dear readers. After four years, thousands of pages, and a lot of coffee, Wireframe magazine’s time is drawing to a close. A confluence of factors mean that issue 70, out today, is the final edition in print. (1/3).

It may be a good idea to set up a website that pulls all of these independent publications together, making it easier for people to discover what’s out there. Great mags like @filmstoriespod @NintyFreshMag @FusionGameMag @amigamagazine @WSC_magazine and loads more.

Two very impressive retro-flavoured magazines have launched this month. @pixeladdict_mag and @segapowered_mag. If you enjoy tech and videogames, lend them your support.
