Winkio is a recently launched social network based
on microblogging that let its users record and track their feelings,
doings and concerns while sharing them with their friends and the
world. The data collected is used to take the world's pulse and to
present the big picture with maps, charts and clouds.
Ever wondered how the
world is feeling? What people on the planet are doing? What are their
concerns? How current events affect all that? Or maybe you'd like to
be more in touch on how your buddies are doing? Well, that's exactly
what Winkio's worldwide experiment is all about: you share your
pulse, you care about your buddies, and we all take the pulse of the
world!
You let the world know
what?s up with you by sharing your pulse and answering 3 questions:
how you are feeling, what you are doing and what you?re concerned
about.
Becoming a member and
being part of the Winkio community allows you to know what's up with
your buddies and get alerted when they are feeling bad or good.
You can also react and
express your feelings about the world?s news selected in the social
news section. For each headline, you choose how it makes you feel and
can add a comment to give more details. If you're a member then your
reactions to the news will appear along your pulses, your buddies
will see it and react themselves to the news or to your thoughts
about them.
Based on what users share,
Winkio also comes up with a few [whacky] links between our feelings,
doings and concerns: the « fun facts of the world ».
That's how you'll learn that people are as happy when they are faking
work than when they are actually working. Or that they might very
well be faking work while being concerned by their personal finances.
This worldwide experiment
makes sense as the Winkio community grows and you earn points when
you contribute to taking the pulse of the world. You have a rank
based on your amount of points: citizen, representative, senator,
governor or ambassador of your country! The idea behind this is to
organize fun events involving the most active people on Winkio and to
allow members to exchange points for gifts.
Go check out the Winkio
experiment and contribute to taking the pulse of the world. Register
for free, invite your friends and know what's up with them. And start
the race for the Winkio ambassador title in your country!
