InfoHub Team Profile: Cindy S

 Aloha! I'm Cindy S and a member of your Glitz Games InfoHub Team. I'm excited to be working with such talented colleagues to create the best information and knowledge sharing environment around. I have a background in web development and knowledge management, and love working with the latest technology to make information accessible. Having grown up in Hawaii, I try to bring the Aloha Spirit to whatever I do. Helping is a big part of that, and like the rest of the InfoHub Team, my goal is to make it easy for you to get the information you need.

Game-wise, I can't get enough of our own Be-Blinged Glitz and Sparkle Cat. I'm also nuts about sudoku and mahjong.

I'm looking forward to meeting you in person or virtually!

InfoHub Team Profile: Elisabeth Sundby

Hi, my name is Elisabeth Sundby and I very excited to be part of the InfoHub team. I am a librarian with background and experience in business administration. I am particularly interested in competitive intelligence information and digital asset management. In a new and fast paced industry it is vital to stay informed. I believe that what you don’t know about your competition can hurt you, and we will strive to not let that happen here at Glitz Games. We will also aim to minimize the time you spend looking for things by providing assistance in the organization of your files and digital assets, and by providing the relevant information you need when you need it.  As a librarian I am also challenged by the proverbial search for the needle in the haystack, or, the Norwegian that I am, the snowflake in the flurry. (Hence the picture.)

I enjoy gaming and I am looking forward to be able to test some of the games in development here at Glitz Games. It is exciting to be fitting right into the demographic target of our games and to be able to voice user experience input to our incredible team of creative developers.

I look forward to collaborating with everyone and being part of the solution to your information related needs.

InfoHub Team Profile : Brianna H.

Hi, my name is Brianna and I am super jazzed to be a member of the Glitz Games InfoHub Team!  I am a librarian with 11 years experience fielding reference inquiries of all shapes and sizes and I look forward to the challenges Glitz Games has to offer.  I have a particular interest in emerging library technologies as well as digital collections, and after having been a cataloger for 4 years I have developed a distinct fondness for metadata. 

When it comes to gaming I enjoy old faithfuls such as Super Mario Brothers,Tetris, and bubble breaker, but I must admit that I am currently addicted to Sparkle Cat since it's launch last week.  On a personal note I am a huge fan of horror movies, scary novels, and anything Halloween so I would be your go-to-gal for the development of any games of the glam-horror genre! 

Again, I am excited to be working with you all and I look forward to all the future holds here at Glitz Games.  Oh, and by the way, I'm not really a cat.

Sparkle Cat Launched!

Well, congratulations to the Sparkle Cat team! This marvelous game, which features three levels of play in which gamers help a kitten out of a tall tree by spelling words correctly, launched last week to rave reviews.

Now, it's time for the team and the whole company to celebrate the launch. The Sparkle Cat Event will be held December 10, 2010 from 7 PM onwards at the swanky Glas Kat Supper Club at 520 Fourth Street in San Francisco. Please bring one guest. Tickets can be picked up in advance in the Human Resources Lounge and there is a secret back room reserved for our exclusive party.

Since nothing goes with holidays like a little Sparkle Cat, we might celebrate those too so feel free to wear something that glitters. And, there will be a live Sparkle Cat Contest, so practice spelling those multi syllabic tricky words. First prize is a half day spa package!
