COMMON THREAD: acai berry, arginmax, burundanga

Digg 1: Talk2Me: paul newman cancer update
Digg 2: State of California Warning: DO NOT Flush Pharmaceuticals

I see an interesting common thread in the number of natural nutritional supplements people are looking up today. At least people are looking for natural remedies, but the reasons we're seeking these remedies are disturbing. It's amazing to me how people today look for quick external fixes in every aspect of their lives.

First, there is the acai berry diet. The acai berry is known as an elixir that provides an antioxident and gives energy. A friend of my grandfathers swears by the virtues of monavie, which is a drink made from the acai berry. People who drink acai juice and eat the acai fruit extoll it's benefit to the joints. But now some folks are claiming, in what's very likely a scam, that acai in pill form can make you lose weight too. Can't we just be happy with what the acai berry does do, instead of trying to overclaim it's benefits?

And then there's arginmax, whose manufacturers claim that it helps improve sexual performance in both men and women. I wonder if people take this because their intimate lives are really ailing, or because they are - like so much of society - addicted to the idea of attaining "more." Either reason makes me sad.

By far the most disturbing natural "remedy" that's on people's fingertips today is burundanga, a drug made from the plant called either cacao sabanero or borrachero. In some parts of the world it is used to drug foreigners in order to rob them. In other parts of the world, recent reports of date-rapes, thefts, kidnapping and other crimes have been attributed to it. Frightening!

I DIDN'T KNOW: airtel call home, free international calling cards

digg1: Talk2Me: Did you call your Grandma lately?

digg2: Free Country Codes for International Calling & Area Codes

I didn't know that Airtel is offering special prices on calls this september. Airtel call home offers cheap calling cards and cheap international calling rates. I wonder if people living in my country can also take advantage of the free and cheap international calling cards they are offering, but I somehow think it's only for customers who live in other countries.

In my country, the cell phone network works with prepaid talktime as well, but we only have 4 cellphone companies to choose from. Last I checked, airtel was not one of them, though we have many people here who would surely love to use it.

Hmm, I also see that "Airtel subscribers who will visit Singapore from September 25th to September 29th, 2008 can now enjoy uninterrupted communication while on the move." How very exciting! It seems the cellphone network in that country is very expensive, and airtel offers cheaper rates.

I WONDER: homecoming hairstyles online

digg 1: I did not know: happy birthday google

digg 2: Dying Boy Named Homecoming King Thanks to Kindness of Fellow Students

I wonder at the number of websites today that have pages and pages of homecoming hairstyles. Are hairstyles for homecoming really so different than prom hairstyles or party hairstyles or bridal hairstyles for weddings? Has homecoming taken on it's own hairstyle identity?

I am seeing links for Homecoming Hairstyles, Homecoming Updos, and Beautiful Homecoming Hairstyles Recommendations. Not to mention homecoming dresses, homecoming games, homecoming kings and homecoming queens. Quite an industry!

When I was in high school, I organized the homecoming festivities 2 years in a row (what was I, nuts?) We didn't have websites then, so we had to rely on hairstylists, our friends or hair fashion magazines for suggestions on homecoming hairstyles.

I wonder if girls who go to homecoming look better today because they have the internet? I also wonder if my colleagues where I live now even know what homecoming is!!

I did not know: happy birthday google,

Help!! When I click on the title of my blog post everything looks the same
If you are digging the most recent post you've made, the top part is supposed to look the same. When in doubt about where you are, scroll down, look up to the URL that's showing in your browser, or do both. If you scroll down to find yourself on a page with that post only and no other posts below it, then you are in the right place to digg. When you look up to the URL address in your browser and see yourwwworld.blogspot.com/2008/xx/the-name-of-your-post.htm then you will also know you are in the right place to digg.

If that's not where you are finding yourself, then try clicking on the title of the post again.

Remember: Digg twice, blog your wordplay, digg yourself.

The players with the most diggs win!

To dig, in my dialect of the english language, means to enjoy. So log-in and start digging around at Digg.com. Take a look at today's google trends, and get ready to enjoy this game. I think it's going to be alot of fun!

Here are some useful links to posts I've been making over the past few days here at the ourwwworld blog, to get you started playing the game:

Keep it global, make it fun, and don't forget to enjoy yourselves!

Most of all, thanks for agreeing to help pilot the ourwwworld game concept.

ourwwworld pilot game: start up announcement

Confirmed ourwwworld player pilot game blogs will be made live on 1 September.

For the first week of play only (1 - 8 September 2008), the minimum 2 play per week requirement will not be strictly enforced.

Players must, however, have a minimum of 4 plays completed by 15 September 2008 (two weeks from now) to remain a player for the rest of the September's game. The normal weekly requirement of min. 2 plays per week will apply after that. Please also note that if we do not have 5 players with 4 posts each by 15 September, the game will be discontinued.

Please always remember that 2 plays per week is just a minimum. You are welcome and encouraged to play (and have fun with the ourwwworld game!) as much as you can.

ourwwworld pilot game: how to play

Digg twice, blog your wordplay, digg yourself.

1. Digg Twice

Once you've been digging around a bit at digg.com, the 2 digg links you need to paste into your post appear in your digg profile as soon as you have dugg them.

Start your play by clicking on "new post" at your player blog.

digg 1: paste the digg link for any completed play you have dugg that you found here at the ourwwworld blog. Any post appearing at the ourwwworld blog (including this one) is open for you to digg and play on once.

digg 2: paste a new digg link for any other (non-ourwwworld game related) page you have dugg on digg.com

A reminder - the 2 digg links you need to paste into your post appear in your digg profile as soon as you have dugg them. Drag your cursor across a link in your digg profile to copy and paste it into your blog.

If you save your post at this point, give it the title PARTIAL PLAY. You can come back to edit the post and blog your wordplay later. Uncompleted partial plays earn 1 point in the end of month score tally.


2. Blog your wordplay

a. Visit the google top trends page, to choose at least 2 search terms (or search term variations) to include in your post. Drag your cursor to select the search terms and their links from the google trends page, and paste them into your post as you incorporate them into your text.

b. Select one of the following 5 allowable plays, and model your post after the provided sample.

1. TALK2ME
2. COMMON THREAD
3. I DIDN'T KNOW
4. I WONDER
5. MY OWN WAY
6. PARTIAL play

c. the first sentence of your wordplay text must include the name of the allowable play you choose, as shown in the sample plays

d. The title of your published post must include the name of your play followed by 1-4 of the google search terms included in the post, like below, or it won't be counted as a play:

COMMON THREAD: football scores, football schedules
I WONDER: ordinal, revelation generation, federalist papers
I DIDN'T KNOW: matsunichi photoblitz 7” digital picture frame
etc.


3. Digg yourself
submit your completed play post to digg.com. A self digg of a correct play adds two points to your end of month play point tally. Your completed play will be posted for others to digg at the ourwwworld blog

ourwwworld pilot game: points, scoring and winnings

A completed play is worth 3 play points

A post that only includes two diggs can be saved, published and counted as a partial play (1 play point). A partial play should not be submitted to digg until it has been edited to include your wordplay. A partial play that has been edited to include the wordplay but not yet self dugg will not yet count as a completed play.

The cash bonus pool (20% of the ourwwworld pilot game ad revenue, plus revenue shares forfeited by players who fall out of the game) is distributed among the winning players at the end of each monthly round as follows:

• 25% to the player with the most play points
• 25% to the player with the most diggs received on all completed plays.
• 25% to the player with the highest digg score on a single play.
• 25% to the player whose blog content generates the most advertising revenue

Partial plays die at the end of each monthly round.

ourwwworld pilot game: player rules

The pilot ourwwworld game will run under my stewardship as moderator and financial manager from September 1 - November 30 2008. This is a private, invitation only game that players agree to play for 3 months only. When the pilot game has ended, you get to keep your blog (and 100% of any income it continues to generate), and do whatever you want with it.

During the pilot game period, we all get a share of advertising revenue generated by the content of our own wordplays; plays and diggs earn us points in competition with each other for extra cash; and 40% of everything the pilot game earns goes to Life in Africa.

During the pilot game period, we agree to play by the following general rules:

1. Two correctly completed plays per week keeps you in the game, but you may play as often as you can. You may skip a week and stay in the game as long as you completed at least 2 more than the required weekly plays during the previous weeks. If you fall out of the game by falling behind in your weekly completed plays (ie, week three is over and you only have 5 plays completed), you forfeit your revenue share for that whole month to the cash prize pool.
   
   
2. No post may include the word “click” or verbally encourage visitors to click on any link in the post or on the game blog page. Players also agree not to ever click on any of the advertisements appearing on any ourwworld game blog.
   
   
3. Keep it global. Players may not mention the name of ANY country or continent in their game posts. City names may be mentioned.
   
   
4. Players agree to only discuss game rules, procedures and strategies with each other in public, at a ned.com discussion thread established for that purpose.

Any violation of these 4 simple rules (or any other abuse of the digg.com, blogger or adsense terms of use) will result in your being eliminated from the game for the rest of the month, with your revenue share forfeited to the bonus pool for winners.
