Just this week, we officially announced the release of Wiffiti 4.0 with all it’s fabulous new features. If you used Wiffiti way back in the day, you’ll barely recognize the platform! Jayne scrounged through her extensive photo collection and found this one of our very first Wiffiti from way back in January, 2006 at Someday Cafe, Somerville Mass:

Looks different, doesn’t it! Check out our Flickr photo stream to see the evolution of Wiffiti over the years (and events).
Here are some of the highlights of Wiffiti 4.0:
- Incorporation of real time messages from the web, Twitter & Flickr
- Data tracking - after all isn’t that the best part of social media
- Embeddable in any digital signage network supporting Flash
- Auto-filtering, as well as a professional moderation options
- Random name generator - instead of numbers, you now get randomly assigned ColorAnimal or AdjectiveAnimal names. They’re quite fun - I’m SangriaPorcupine!
Wiffiti is also now available as a free standard version or as a professional version offering a more customizable feature set. Here’s a snapshot of what Wiffiti.com/DemiLovato looks like:

The championship finals were held this week in New York and the winning prize was $50,000. 15 year Kate Moore walked away with the trophy and the prize money this year, after competing against 20 other finalists in New York these last few days. The competition required them to text a modified chorus from Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah while doing crazy tasks like jumping obstacles on a treadmill and while blindfolded. The championship started out as a PR campaign for LG in 2007, and this is its third year in action.
