SXSW Buzzword Bingo is its name-o
Shall we play a game? If you’re in the mood for a little diversion while you’re taking in panels and keynotes this week, play SxSW Buzzword Bingo!
The interactive, smartphone friendly little app generates custom cards for you and all your friends, and provides a great way to have some fun when those inevitable phrases such as “monetizing eyeballs” and “long tail” start flying. Enjoy—just don’t interrupt the folks on stage by shouting “Bingo!” A modest fist-pump will suffice. (Thanks to Baby! pal Dori Smith for whipping this up with me.)
If you’re in the mood for a slightly more involved Bingo game—with actual prizes—including a Kindle 2, gift certificates and a Snuggie!—check out SXSW Bingo from the folks at Iridesco, played with cameras, Twitter and a little scavenger hunting.
