Or: How to Get the Most out of FlipRate
Love your iPad and want to use it in every possible occasion? Here’s how you can use FlipRate at the office.
-
Rate my lunch
In small places your lunch options are pretty much eating out or bringing lunch from home. Bob had prime rib delivered to work from a nearby restaurant, what grade does he get?
-
The funniest YouTube video
Ah, YouTube, the great time waster. Why not make it more social and rate the videos with FlipRate? Does the Trololo guy beat the Trololo cat, or did they both get old overnight?
-
Office party pictures
What, Janice brought a camera to the party? And actually took pictures? And has got embarrassing photos of everyone? Gather around and rate the funniest low moments.
-
Clothes
Somebody’s wearing an awesome tee-shirt today? A goofy hat? Support showing a little color and personality with a good grade.
-
Pastries and cakes
The time got short in the morning and you didn’t have time to have breakfast? And then Jake brought doughnuts and other pastries to the office to celebrate a birthday? Full points to Jake, plus you can use your iPad to show everyone what you think of each cake while you eat.
-
Gadgets
Your colleague just got a Nokia N-whatever or a Google something with something-droid and is showing it to everyone? Show them what score you think that contraption deserves.
-
Pranks
I’m sure everyone has an idea of a prank waiting to be pulled. For example where I work there’s this guy who doesn’t use sugar in his coffee, says it’s too sweet. Instead he uses artificial sweetener from a small dispenser instead. More than once it has occurred to me to trick the dispenser so that the pills just keep flowing when it’s used. Have your iPad ready to rate the reactions :)
-
Office games
The paper bin basket ball is a classic example. Do you get TPS reports that your boss keeps saying you are supposed to fill but you always have something more important to do? Those YouTube videos don’t rate themselves… Anyway, what do you do about that stack of long-overdue forms? Instead of just putting them in the bin you can make them into balls and throw from a distance. Grade the good throws!
