… What is a SOW?
on Friday, January 8, 2010We are coming to the end of the development stage of the AlbinoPhant online party. We have learned a lot about preparing and deploying a internet based application. We have discovered that communication is still the key to getting things done right and finished in a timely fashion.
In the world of web site development the Scope of Work (SOW) is the guidebook for preparing the design and writing the code to make it all work.
Unlike other pioneering efforts, our project was based upon a well documented real-world party. The white elephant/yankee swap is a proven and fully tested… Read the rest »
Two of the Top 10 Trends in Social Media
on Monday, December 28, 2009This the season for the “TOP” lists…
Lists…. Lists….Lists… Everywhere we turn there is another LIST!
I was interested in a list published by David Berkowitz in the Social Media Insider. It was titled: Ten Ways Social Media Changed Our Thinking in 2009.
His list includes several trends, but I focused on two that are of particular interest to me…
Gifts and Gaming.
David is the Senior Director of Emerging Media & Innovation at 360i, and he has his hand on the pulse of many growing trends in this space. His success depends on spotting emerging business concepts, and he… Read the rest »
Trampled by a crowd and enjoying it
on Tuesday, December 22, 2009
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week I plan to be trampled by 14 little feet…
And, I will enjoy every minute of it!
For more than a year I have been working hard to build an online party application that will demonstrate the value of giving real gifts through social networks. We are still working on many bugs and finishing several projects so that it will perform as it should. I have many tasks that remain on the to-do list….
But this week all of my grandchildren will be in our home, and I plan to just lie on… Read the rest »
Full of hot air! Or just great Dirty Santa gifts…
on Monday, November 23, 2009Gift exchange parties are full of hot air…
Especially parties that carry the Dirty Santa or Dirty Thieving Santa moniker.
You see, these are the gag-gift cousins of the tamer and more common White Elephant Exchange or Yankee Swap.
The “dirty” implication is associated with the “stealing” portion of these gift exchange events. Gifts are opened by random players and then subsequent players can swap or “steal” from those who have gone before.
The gifts that create the most banter are usually the weird gifts that can be associated with something funny. Gifts that can prompt a conversation will make… Read the rest »

Unique and Fun White Elephant Gift Ideas
The best white elephant gift parties and Yankee Swaps, start with interesting or entertaining gifts. We have worked with Amazon to provide you with some great gift markets in which to shop for your AlbinoPhant Party. You will find gifts in markets with level pricing, from $15 dollars to $50 dollars, spaced at $5 dollar increments.
Before you shop for your own party, take a look at some of the great gifts that we have put in the AlbinoPhant markets. There are several hundred Amazon gifts to choose from, for your own party adventure.
When you join a party you should select a gift that brings out the fun conversation in the online white elephant exchange… So we pulled out 17 gift ideas that we believe you could make some great conversation around.
What story could you start with a Hide-A-Squirrel? Could you find a way to talk about a Backseat Organizer? What about posting a video about Pinocchio and telling lies… Or, put someone in “Time-out” with a new Pad!

We don’t use offer scams – we may not be a social game.
on Tuesday, November 3, 2009
I just completed a quick educational study in social gaming scams. I still don’t understand all the many nuances of the scheme, but it doesn’t sound right to me.
At one time, I wanted our online party application to be considered a social game, but now I am rethinking the association.
From now on, AlbinoPhant is not a social game, but is a Gift Sales Facilitator.
This title is not nearly as catchy as social game, yet it does describes what we do… Maybe we should have an acronym in the title, like GSF party game…
The fact is that… Read the rest »
