Party with Wiffiti!
Since I’m pretty sure Jaynie won’t sing her own praises on this one, I’m going to do it for her. To keep it simple, Wiffiti rocks! For those who aren’t familiar with Wiffiti, it’s basically a bulletin board that displays text messages (ok, so that’s a really simple description since they bounce around a TV screen and look cool). But the fact of the matter is, Wiffiti is an entirely new way to interact.
Thanks to Jaynie, we had a Wiffiti screen hooked up at a recent party that I hosted, and it was a huge success. Of course, its always fun to see what kind of banter ends up on screen as the night wears on. And with the option to post either anonymously or not, the possibilities for interaction are almost endless. The intricacies are a tad tough to figure out at first, but once you get moving its easy.
Will Wiffiti be the central life of the party? No, that’s what alcohol is for. Will it be a fun toy that everyone will enjoy exploring? Heck yeah! And given the proliferation of UGC in today’s marketing world, it’s not out of the question that companies could pick this up in some form as an addition to their retail/web experience.
