news:rewired: the open, crowd-sourced, interactive jargon drinking game
A digital journalism jargon drinking game for attendees of the news rewired conference.
Today, some of my students from City are busy liveblogging news:rewired. So, left at a loose end, I’m sat in Shoreham, doing the very necessary work of curating the unofficial, and potentially liver-destroying news:rewired drinking game:
Leverage/Engagement
In my notional #newsrw drinking game "leverage" would be a shot, and "engagement" would be down a pint…

Wifi Problems
@adders "I can't get the wifi to connect" = three shots. #newsrw

Risky – but appropriate.
Platform
@markjones Platform? Two fingers of your drink. #newsrw

Conversation
@adders 'conversation'?

Struggling with this one. It used to be a core jargon word, but it’s been in retreat in recent years. I’m going with a shot, for nostalgia’s sake…
Interactive
@nicolechanglin Yeah, that's a shot, too. #newsrw

Mobile
@adders Any variations on 'it has to work on mobile' (or does that have too much potential for liver damage at this point)?

@adders Thanks for making that mobile-optimised. *drinks*

Two fingers of a pint, otherwise the liver damage would just be too much to sustain.
Any more for any more?
