Western Union celebrates its 160th Anniversary by launching the Western Union Network Challenge. The Western Union Network Challenge aims to identify the Most Globally Networked Person in the World.

As for us in the Philippines, we will see how geographically networked we are through a new online interactive application called Your World.

MECHANICS:

• Log-in to your Facebook account at  www.westernunionworld.com/yourworld so that the application can calculate your global connectivity. This app will also be able to post items like notes and photographs into your wall.
• When logged in, you will be given a visual representation of the geographical locations of your Facebook friends. The countries are represented as “planets” in your own personal universe. More planets mean more global connectivity with friends living overseas.
• This is a self-promoting application. Whenever you interact with the app, an alert is published in your Facebook wall inviting your friends to join so they can also see how globally networked they are.
• For the competitive individuals, you can have your own score or World Index based on how globally connected you are and this score will be compared against your Facebook and others who are using the application.

Here is my World Index:

CHALLENGE:

Try this application: YOUR WORLD and see how what score you will get in the World Index? See how globally networked you are.

Would you like to join me and see how you fare? You can see your friends who live and work overseas as nurses, engineers, doctors, Reservations Clerk jobs, chambermaid and domestic mangers in this World Index. How fun it that?

Here’s how:

1. Login to YOUR WORLD
2. Take a screenshot of your personal universe and email the photo to me treasureATtreasurejarDOTinfo. Or better yet, write about it in your blog or post on your FB wall.
3. You can also tweet  the  statement:  Are  you  more  globally  connected  than  me?  Take  the  Western  Union  Challenge  at  westernunionworld.com/yourworld  + (blog) name
   
4. Do this and you will be surprised how you fare as a Globally Networked person 🙂
