So I figured I’d check out this new site called TriviaOnNet.com. It’s made by Trivya and it’s addictive in a fun way. It’s sort of like an online game show where you got a limited amount of seconds to answer topical trivia questions. Get the most right, you win. They call this type of gaming casual gaming.
Playing trivia on the web is pretty cool but the real magic happens when you play it from within Facebook with the Trivya Facebook Application. And, when you sign up, Trivya spots you $5. And, once you get going and getting your boat legs, you’re eligible to sign up for the $10,000 trivia tournament this March.
When I played, the subject I’ve picked is sports and I’m doing somewhat well. But not evidently well enough because I keep coming in second. Or third… But you should check it out because I am sure you’re do better than me. Both TriviaOnNet.com and the Trivya Facebook Application have the categories of sports, entertainment, and music. You can play for free - which I recommend for people starting out. Or you can pay and play and get paid — win!
They’ve come up with 500,000 questions. That’s right. Half a million. I remember Trivial Pursuit from the 1980’s and if you played enough, you’d start to get the same questions twice. Not with TriviaOnNet. That makes it that much better.
Now I just have to find a way to win.

CC Chapman and I have become chums since we do similar work and have similar interest. Heck, we even pitched together, as AHLLC does some cool work on behalf of crayon. Oh, and because we’re both cool dudes. According to a recent post on his blog, CC says, “I’m Done Coloring,” which means he has moved out of Crayonville:
“There comes times in of our lives when we have to make big decisions. Last weekend, I made one of my biggest when I called up Joseph and resigned from crayon. It is something that I have been thinking about for a few months and I decided that it was the right time to make a move.” Via CC Chapman
CC is talented in so many and sundry ways he dizzies me. He has 48-hours to every 24-hours I have in a day. And he knows, and is admired by, everybody. I am looking to forward to seeing what Mr. Chapman does next.

Moments after posting an article about how I don’t get Second Life marketing and PR, my favorite Internet Rockstar, CC Chapman, jumped up to explain Second Life to me, a heathen…
“Why oh why does everyone try to apply the same measures of success to Second Life and virtual worlds in general? Same thing aggravates me when I see people who try to apply the same measurements from television to podcasting. They are different!
What people and companies have to realize is that setting up a shop and hoping people come in a virtual world is a waste of time if that is your mentality. You have to engage with the users more then ever. You have to be part of the community and be active. You can’t just set up and forget it. That PR ship has sailed and no one cares if you build just another island in Second Life. I know I sure don’t.
I’m still seeing companies do that. Just yesterday I checked out a new area. It was beautiful and cool, but there was nothing to do there besides look around and find out about the company. There wasn’t even any take aways or fun stuff which would have fit this company perfectly.
I’m looking forward to the constant evolution of virtual worlds and working with companies who realize this is different.” — CC Chapman
Wow, that was quick (thanks to Twitter love, I presume). Explore CC Chapman’s world at the CC Chapman blog, Reality Bitchslap; CC Chapman’s job, crayon; CC Chapman’s marketing podcast, Managing the Gray; CC Chapman’s music podcasts, Accident Hash and U-Turn Cafe; and something called One Guy’s Thoughts, which I just don’t get.
