TwitterINGO Anyone?

Online bingo has emerged into the social networking scene. Popular online blog site Twitter has recently launched an online bingo application. TwitterINGO is a new and fresh way to play online bingo – it was developed by Atlanta-based marketing agency Definition 6.

TwitterINGO is played with words instead of numbers. Players are given 25 key words and the board is updated with words matched on players' blogs or 'tweets'. Similar to numbered bingo, Twitter’s version decide a winner when five words are matched through a line across, down or diagonal.

Once a player wins a game, they will receive a twitter badge saying, ‘I won TwitterINGO,’ which can be shown on other popular networking sites, such as Facebook.

If anyone is interested in playing TwitterINGO, then the game is played once weekly on Tuesdays at 3pm (Eastern Time USA).

Michael Kogon, CEO of Definition 6 said, ‘This application is an ideal way to extend the relevancy of Twitter in a fun and engaging way, and it helps users see if the people they are following are talking about things that are really relevant.’

‘Definition 6 looks forward to providing all Twitter fans and users with another engaging way to enjoy the micro-blogging site and to interact with their social networking community.’

The Twitter homepage will also display all the winners of TwitterINGO.
