Trying to keep tabs on the mobile games market? It's not a hugely difficult task, with a few well-established sites for consumer and industry news, some thrusting new entrants (*cough*), and stats a-plenty from analyst firms and companies like M:Metrics.
Some publishers even get sales figures from operators, we've heard. Although that might be a crazy myth.
Anyway, here's a quick tip on another way of tracking news and buzz on mobile games. It's a website called Summize, which tags itself as a "conversational search engine".
What's that? Basically an engine that searches micro-blogging service Twitter in real-time, using any word or phrase that you type in.
So, you can run a search on "mobile game", or "mobile games", or "iPhone game", or even focus on companies ("Gameloft" for example).
And then you can turn these search queries into RSS feeds, to incorporate into whatever you already use to keep track of industry sites.
Anyway, just a quick tip that might be useful!
