social-media-waste-of-timeQuizzes and social interaction have been linked together for a very long time. One of the most famous examples of course is the board game Triviant Persuit, but also watching Weekend Millionaire with the whole family and talking about it the next day at work is a form of social quizzes. Nowadays with all the interwebs and social networks we are connecting easier, faster and more with bigger groups of people. This of course leads to new opportunities and a lot of parties already jumped onto the social quiz wagon. There already are more Facebook quizzes then one can play in a lifetime and cool quiz concepts like Twitbrain have popped up on Twitter too.
