Web 2.0 style gift

The Internet today is experiencing a boom in Web 2.0 - RSS, tag clouds, “social features” (user accounts, avatars, friends, etc.) can be found on almost every second site.

It just so happened that we (the Versus company) are developing web services (I specifically do not want to use the word Web 2.0 in relation to our work, but there are all signs). Therefore, when the question arose of what to give the children for the New Year, we decided to approach the solution in a non-standard way.



So, the idea:

1. We are announcing a competition among team members for who is better (more original, creative) will be able to describe their usual day. To make it easier - the day is divided into hours and keywords are written for each hour ("minibus", "coffee", "php", "scrum", etc.)
2. The most original keywords are selected and a tag cloud is compiled from them, which is applied to the timeline.
3. We order ceramic mugs with this tag cloud, and while they are made, we reward the winners of the competition.
4. Before the New Year we arrange a mini-party in the office (champagne, tangerines, cake and hookah) and give these mugs (beautifully packed). As a result, with relatively small expenses for a gift and a party, we got smiles, happy eyes and a bunch of positive emotions in the team.
