Coffee consumptive and stumbling through my rss feeds early one morning, I discovered a blog post about Colorwars 2008. It’s like end of summer camp only online with hundreds of players deep people ready to play virtual tug o’ war. Since I commute to my computer everyday to make connections and seek community, I am thinking this discovery rocks. After all, there’s always something more we can do within all these virtually-peopled platforms we belong to.

Creator Zefrank and the genius coders around him have devised a way for virtual teams to engage in colorwar events (Ro Sham Bo, Bingo, Microphone) using functioning environments such as twitter, Flickr, SayNow and YouTube. It’s brilliant! There’s even a place to follow the smacktalk between the teams. I joined Team Naked for obvious reasons.

Ah…I will forever adore the proliferation of creative ways we can engage with one another online; it makes the computer commute that much more inspiring.

An aside: if you’re super into old school games turned new school online fun, you can also check out tweetpotato, a game of tossing a virtual “hot po-tater” around with your friends. Sign up for the beta and follow me @nikitascene.
