It has been quite a while the last time I opened this blog. Most of my updates are delayed. I find no time updating my post since I was sent to a long period of vacation. Now that I am back, I’ll try my best, I mean I will do my best to update this blog day by day..
Got something to share here! I find a very silly but clever article from techcrunch.com. It is all about a new app for iOS phones. Its title caught my attention while browsing the site. Honestly, I was looking for an article to be submitted to our client. The title goes this way “PromiseUP Launches To Gamify Your Promises So That You’ll Keep Them”. Then out of curiosity I clicked the link and started reading it. I learned that the app will enable its users to make their own promises, do it or break it, in a “gamified” way.
The app is a game. A game that will make all users accountable and reliable with the things they say they’ll do. Wew! But I think making a promise must not be taken as a game. Though the app aims to make the world a better place to live in, I doubt that each of every user will be honest enough to tell that they had broken the promise. It will always be enticed with feeling of frustration and disappointment. Well, I just hate those feelings. >__<
However, I find the “PAYING” thing clever. With the app, users are entitled to pay UP dollar, the app’s currency, if they fail to make the promise. If all promise-making will be played like this, maybe I am wealthy now, knowing that my ex had broken so many promises! J The one which has a bigger impact costs high! J Back off with the bitterness..
Anyway, I wanna try it, earn some points and swap it with real prizes. The problem is my phone is not an iOS phone .. J
