Color Wars on Twitter

[Jeff]

Ze Frank had an idea -- create color "teams" just like when you where a kid at summer camp and hold various competitions. And thus was born Color Wars 2008.

This is a fun game played via Twitter with teams. I'm on (what else?) the Blue Team. Each team recruits other members. You join a team by simply following one -- so "follow" one team, please (though Color Wars will assume that the last team you "follow" is your team). You'll also want to follow zefrank or simply visit the Color Wars website to see when a new challenge is issued.

The challenges are actually pretty inventive and fun. The current challenge is a "scavenger hunt" using Google Maps street view. There are actually decent prizes. This particular challenge, JetBlue airplane tix are up for grabs!

That looks COOL! I also liked the "merit badge challenge." heheh
