As we head towards a new week in Scotland and Northern Ireland’s new media world, 38minutes will bring Christmas a little bit early with some broad indications on the latest projects whose contracts’ ink is still waiting to dry. Keep your eyes peeled for that, but in the meantime feast them on these 38minute tidbits:
* 4iP’s first project in the ‘simple but effective’ bracket brings football fans together around the game, whether they’re at the match or on their radios.
* Scottish businesses can sign up for Doug Richard’s School for Startups in Glasgow, while the Belfast Digital Circle will be helping you understand how to make the most of your R&D budget.
* We continue a look at the 4iP pitching process, with the fourth in a series. This week, how to take advantage of the brief space to pitch on the submissions site.
The other posts in the series can be accessed through the 38minutes blog.
* The featured site this week has created a group, too, so that everyone can enjoy the simplicity, beauty and amazing community that has been gathering around Blipfoto.com, a Scottish startup whose site already seized a legendary following. Another 38minutes featured site needs your support to win a Mashable award. Cast your Hubdub votes.
* Check out other great posts this week, from Clay Shirky’s masterclass on what makes communities tick, to Tim O’Reilly’s definitive post on why Twitter should be taken more seriously.
