A few weeks ago I joined in a Twitter conversation. Most of the times, those kind of conversations lead very few places… However, this one continued on. After some time planning, back and forth, along with the group of enthusiastic royal watchers, a discussion forum was created. We came together to create a new forum… Continue reading The Royal Resource
