Denver, Colorado - March 13, 2003 -- What do long, boring meetings and endless conference calls have in common? BUZZWORDS. Think you've heard them all? Then play the new game, found at boredroombingo.net, that is adding fun and an element of mischief to the business day.
Boredroom Bingo is a fun way to liven up those deadly dull days at work, and it's all the rage among business people today. The game is based on business jargon and slang whose popularity rushes through the corporate. Players print a card prior to a meeting and cross off the buzzwords each time someone uses one in the meeting. When a player gets five blocks checked off in a row, he or she stands up and yells BINGO. Much of the interest in the game has been fueled by players e-mailing the link to friends and family.
Bingo cards can be found at www.boredroombingo.net, along with other fun stuff, such as a way to start a new buzzword trend and stories of buzzwords used incorrectly. There is almost nothing more embarrassing, or funny, than somebody thinking they know the meaning of a buzz word and using it incorrectly.
Boredroombingo.net is the creation of OpenMic Company, a phone and web conferencing provider. Everyone knows that meetings and conference calls can sometimes be boring.

Many of our competitors tout their service as a miracle technology that all of sudden makes meetings engaging and entertaining and that is simply not true. While we know that our service is easy-to-use and adds a visual element with Web conferencing, we are realistic about meetings and their entertainment value," added Real.
