 		How do you sniff out your Trailheads?
How, where, when, what?
Just a quick info question really.

How do you tend to find your trailheads? Short of just hitting f5 on unForums - do you surf blogs, subscribe to particular newsfeeds, read the disemboweled intestines of unfortunate water voles?

Reading the unForums won't help you find a trailhead -- you'll only read about someone else finding a trailhead and sharing it here. But that's still a good way to jump on the bandwagon early, and other sites like http://www.despoiler.org/ and http://www.argn.com/ and the podcast at http://www.argnetcast.com/ will sometimes hint at something launching before someone posts about it here.

But how might you find a trailhead? Watch movie trailers for hidden URLs (or strange jobs hidden in the credits). Be suspicious of TV commercials. Look at random posters on the street. Pick up business cards being handed out at events. Or get yourself on a mailing list. If you read the first post in almost every game thread here, you'll see a wide variety of ways people have been either drawn into a game or stumbled upon one.

 		Also, be sure to leave whatever contact info you're comfortable with on the PM Contact Thread here. That way, PMs may come to you with trailheads... Very Happy
