The Broth

The object of The Broth is to work with one another moving 1,000 colored tiles around, forming a mosaic in real time. It is truly a fascinating social experiment which tries to determine if people are willing and/or capable of working together or they’d rather spend time disrupting the accomplishments of others. The project, lead by Dr. Markus Wichselbaum also includes a chat program which helps with coordinating the tile laying. A Web 2.0 product that works in all browsers with no additional plugins required, The Broth is worth trying out. Take a look at the gallery to see what people like you have accomplished.
