Genitals, grub, rock'n'roll and t'internet: TheSite.org quizzes
We've recently launched quizzes on TheSite.org that cover everything from knowledge of STIs to weird UK laws. It was a project that took a while to develop, not because it was overly complicated, but because we wanted to come up with something that added value to the site rather than just acted as a five-minute diversion.
Quizzes on TheSite.org, we reckoned, should have some... educational value. maybe even edu-tainment! But seriously, there did seem like an opportunity to provide some fun functionality that had an information layer hidden underneath. The risk, as always with this is you can't find the balance and the fun stuff is pushed sideways as you try and wedge in some sort of message.
I think Kim, our journo who put this together did really well at finding the balance. See for yourself by taking the quizzes.
You can also post your results on any blog/social network page you might have, like I've done below. Just don't call me a geek.
Is your grub good for you?

 You know, there's no shame in being a geek. Really. If anything, at least friends and family can rely on you for tech help. Now all you need to do is put your knowledge to work and look at saving money with your computer and keeping safe online. |
