Qranking with the masses

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010


I’m the type of nasty girl who likes to Qrank in public with multiple people all at once.

No really, it isn’t as nasty as it sounds. If you haven’t yet started Qranking, it’s time to get to it. This Austin-based app has become a local favorite and the daily and live trivia app game is slowly being adopted by local businesses and news organizations as a way to bring audiences together.

Last week I got my Qrank on in public for the first time in a game hosted by the Austin American Statesman.

From the Austin-American Statesman

“Hernandez and Rodriguez had gone to the club with her 15-year-old brother, who witnessed the shooting, Marilu Hernandez said. Her brothers had left the strip club and were getting into their car when a female customer came out with some men and accused one of the brothers of stealing her iPhone, Marilu Hernandez said. That led to the fistfight and the shooting, she said.

“I can’t believe this was all over a stupid telephone,” Marilu Hernandez said, with tears in her eyes.”

On a side note, why was her 15-year-old brother at a strip club?
