The famous Q&A sessions seem to be slow these days but the Blue activity has increased. If something like a posting spree exists then the Starcraft 2 community managers seem to be going for the title. Karune and Cydra answered a over a dozen questions on various Starcraft 2 related topics. Topics include the new Dark Templar technology, the mysterious Zerg Overlord and the Nydus network and the Terran Planetary Fortress.
StarcraftWire and BlizzPlanet, two Blizzard and StarCraft fansites, have followed the development on which artists will be featuring in StarCraft II, and after much ado, it's now confirmed that neither Glynnis Talken or Robert Clotworthy will be voicing the famous Kerrigan, Queen of Blades and Jim Raynor. Many fans are upset, and when Blizzard were still auditioning, community members where trying to petition Blizzard into keeping the original actors.
This was just posted by Karune: Besides the Vespene Laughs contest where you can win Beta keys they are also starting more ways to gain StarCraft 2 beta keys. However, this should be interesting for fans of all franchises, as there is "more" involved.
