Let the games begin!
Everybody's a-buzzin' about The Olympics - two days left until the real thing, right?
But YOU, oh lucky Java fans... You get to experience the Games at Beijing a little earlier than everyone else.
Presenting: myPicks Beijing 2008!
myPicks is a brand-spankin' new Facebook game where YOU can:
- Join your favorite country's team
- Predict winners in all categories
- & Earn points for you and your homeland with every winning prediction!
Show off your pride & compete with Facebook players across the globe to see who's country keeps the lead. Track how your team is doing, your friends' predictions, how badly your rivals are gettin' smashed... ;]
The more people from your country play, the better the chances are of your country comin' out on top!
I'm bursting with pride 'cause myPicks was developed by Zembly, which is completely powered by Sun hardware & software and runs on Network.com's cloud-computing platform!
& For you bloggers out there, an even cooler way of staying in the game:
With this widget, I can grab quick stats from my country right from my own blog, and can jump right into the game through it, too.
(Psssst: If you want the widget, comment me & I'll be totally happy to share ;])
You do have to be a Facebook user to play myPicks, but I'm warning you - predicting is like gambling, and myPicks will get you addicted!
See screenshots & read more about myPicks, Zembly, and how Sun has a hand in uniting the world through the Olympics in this feature article.
I'm playing, and I'm rooting for the good ol' USA. Join me?
Get in the game! ;]
