Other words that made the list included Michael Jackson, swine flu, Lady GaGa and Twitter.

Also, winner Helen Haynes, or lildan, from a few weeks ago was too shy to send in a picture, but she did say….

“Wow I won! Have decided to really treat myself as this is £500 I definitely wasn’t expecting. I’ll start at the hairdressers then I’m off to the beauty counter for some expensive anti-ageing face cream and some eye make-up and maybe some perfume and I did want a pair of Mukluks ….those winter FitFlop Boots. And there’s a lovely winter coat I’ve seen …that’s if there’s any money left! Gosh this is so much fun thanks a
bundle!!”

Brilliant!

It has been reported that YouTube are planning on launching their own online trivia game, to be named Vidicule, to drive viewers to their content.

According to technology blog, NewTeeVee, the video sharing website was previewing a demo of the game last night. The game is based around short video clips from all over the site, which then related to trivia questions.

NewTeeVee commented: “It looks like the game promotes YouTube partner content — the sample that’s live now showcases clips from X-Men Evolution.”

Vidicule is made by the creators of Jellyvision Games, the developers behind popular 90’s computer game series, You Don’t Know Jack, which was a mix of trivia and comedy.

The Jellyvision site promises, “VIDICULE ™ combines videos and trivia questions into a doubly entertaining video video game game. Look for it on the web!” (Good one!)

Triviala will be launching our own video-based game in the new year, so look out for that!
