Hi everyone, I would like to propose that a new section called "Water Cooler" be added to Connect.
(Water cooler: Used to refer to the type of informal conversation among office workers that takes place around a water cooler. Learn more here)
Why? Sometimes it's just nice to talk about non LGs related stuff.
Exclusive boards will do justice for a small number of people, but this place will be inclusive, so all LGs can connect informally with each other. There are certain topics which sometimes can't fall under any of the existing categories and the 'Local' board doesn't do justice.
Use cases: Here are some questions that would typically fall here.
- What's your favourite TV show? / Which TV series would you recommend? / What's on your Netflix watch list right now?
- Similar thing for movies/books. I watched this movie last night and here's why would recommend it.
- Can you recommend me a list of songs that I can listen to when I work-out?
- Does anyone play (insert name) this video game? I need some help leveling up!
- How do you make your child eat without making them watch YouTube?! 🙂
- Fitness challenge - I am starting a weekly running challenge of xx distance. Who would like to join?
So you get the drift right? This would be an informal lounge where LGs and Googlers can hangout! No featured discussions, everyone gets equal facetime! The whole idea is to make Connect more social and personal and I think the Water Cooler section will help do that!
Happy to hear your thoughts along with reason: Yes, No, May be?
Cheers!
