Matt Johnston is Digital Circle’s co-ordinator. But in his online life is known as Cimota. He’s one of the contributers to Infurious - the people behind Murderdrome the digital comic for the iPhone which recently hit the headlines when Apple decided that cartoon gore was just not their thing - Have they never watched the Simpsons?

Nice little idea - and possibly earner - from the guys in www.webdistortion.com . Following on the heels of The Big Word Project where you can define a word and link back to your site Query Box will answer your questions by linking back to a site.

As Paul says in his email:

Basically what the site does is defines people’s websites by asking a question, and then linking that question to a particular website. This question then would get picked up by Google etc, and hopefully (being a bit long taily) would become the "answer" to many people’s question.

So I can choose a question How-do-I-make-a-podcast? and Querybox links back to my podcast section.  I haven’t quite come up with my side of the deal - writing a useful answer.

Three in one week!  It’s like being at work, again.  But they are being downloaded at a fantastic rate.  So now number 3 is abailable:
