Your chance to become a mobile game distributor (sort of)

Mpowerplayer game demos get widgeted
Let's be honest, most of us have some kind of personal web presence these days. So if you're a wee bit web savvy, you might want to check out a new widget from Mpowerplayer - a provider of mobile game trials and demos.

The widget adds playable mobile games to any blog, discussion forum or website and allows for online sharing with your net buddies.

"There are 200 million people playing casual Web games online," said Michael Powers, CEO of Mpowerplayer. "You can get these same games for mobile - games like Bejeweled and Solitaire - but people just don't know about it. We bring mobile games to this audience where they live, which is online and on the web. And now we're making it easy to share."

Not quite sure we agree that people don't know about Bejeweled or solitaire (the two most played games of this century and the last), but it's a nice thought being able to swap mobile demos with your mates. Blog-based popularity is more important than acne cream to the modern teenager, so be sure to swing by the Mpowerplayer website if widgets tickle your virtual fancy.

Yes. Spanner's his real name. And, yes, he's heard that joke before.
