new technology in the east midlands

If you live in Derby, Nottingham or Leicester, you can join a game being played this month. It's called 'Love City', and after registering on the website, you play by sending text messages to strangers in the other two cities. You can read an explanation of how it works or watch a short demo film. (There's also a blog about the game's development, but it's a bit sparse.)

The game was created by Active Ingredient, which seems to be part of a thriving new media sector in the East Midlands. I knew about some of the exciting things going on in Bristol (such as Connecting Bristol and Mobile Bristol), but I'd no idea so much was going on closer to home.

Does anyone know of exciting new technology developments in the West Midlands or even North Staffordshire?
