I wanted to share with you all a real case where in I got help from many brains in the world… Yesterday (02/17/2008) I was loaded with lots of work… In the back of my mind I wanted to create a FUN environment in my office… I was unable to think anything beyond Chess, Carom & Table Tennis… So I decided to get more ideas/thoughts from people and posted a tweet
“folks can you suggest some indoor office games which you loved to have it in office”
To my surprise there were tremendous response and still I keep getting suggestions… Here are some on the replies I got in twitter…
| halfbrain @anandnataraj [games] Install some good multiplayer shooter games in local lan and ask them to play against each other..even girls enjoy it about 5 hours ago from web
halfbrain @anandnataraj regarding games.. Is your office big? If so put up a TT table otherwise darts will be a good diversion another good idea is.. about 5 hours ago from web sudarmuthu @anandnataraj [folks can you suggest some indoor office games which you loved to have it in office] Table Tennis about 5 hours ago from web in reply to anandnataraj archonline @anandnataraj how about chess 😛 about 6 hours ago from twhirl meetgopal @anandnataraj Chess & Carrom (Low investment, good games, less space). If you can afford, threadmill & TT for physical exercise about 6 hours ago from web in reply to anandnataraj manishmo @anandnataraj Carom, Darts, TT, Chess, Scrabble, about 6 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to anandnataraj arifulanam @anandnataraj him. Thus the elimination game continues to its finish. about 6 hours ago from web arifulanam @anandnataraj name happens to start with the letter he gets in his turn he is out of the game, the game continues from the person next to about 6 hours ago from web arifulanam @anandnataraj so on till ‘z’ & start again from ‘a’ with the next member or next round- the important thing is if anybody’s about 6 hours ago from web arifulanam @anandnataraj you can play the usual games like 20 Questions Pictionary Antakshari Dumb Charades |
Also there are many cases where I used twitter and other social networks for my benefit… Since this is in parse of Twitter let me tell what all I gained from twitter till now… I won two business deals thru twitter… I wanted alpha testers to test a product developed by Cogzidel and when I posted tweet requesting help, there were lots of people who showed interest to help…
Let me list some of the benefits I got from twitter…
- Sharing of knowledge
- Sharing of information
- Sharing of ideas
- Getting business
- Collaborating & Co-creating
- etc
Just understood the power of social media and community participation and wanted to share it with you…
Thanks a lot Twitter…
