WeReward

Our friends at Izea are always coming up with the "next big idea" in social media. They have conquered the idea of paying for written blog posts, monetizing guest blog posts, sponsoring tweets, and more. Their latest innovation, however, may end up being their biggest yet. It's called WeReward and it's a game changer for the social media world.

The idea around WeReward is that users get paid by collecting points through the sharing of everyday activities. Companies and venues may post tasks that users will be able to complete to get paid.

We're very proud to have been featured in the new WeReward overview video as a venue that is offering points for check-ins and picture taking within our restaurant.

The beauty of WeReward is that it's not trying to compete with Foursquare or any other location-based service. It's just trying to enhance the new experiences that location-based services have already created. How brilliant!

Sushi Go Round for Nintendo Wii

Nintendo Wii has recently released an interesting video game called "Sushi Go Round." This game is based around the premise of a boy who wants to win the love of a girl, so he opens his own sushi bar. As the game player, you are the boy, and your initiative is to run the entire restaurant yourself.

While none of us at Ichiban has played this game yet, we have done a little bit of research to find out more about it and whether it's worth the money to purchase.

After reviewing this negative review at Nintendo World Report: (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/reviewArt.cfm?artid=23004), I don't think we feel enticed enough to give the game a whirl. But then again, we are already burdened with our own real-life sushi bar and restaurant. Perhaps this game appeals most to those that have no idea what it's like.

In conclusion, this is definitely a unique game that may be able to persuade many game lovers to give this a try. For us, however, it just doesn't seem worth it. We still would like to hear anyone's comments on feedback that have played the game, whether you liked it or not.
