A Live Action Social Media Game for a Good Cause…

A global game for good! The Meridian is a tradable medallion that symbolizes world unity. Swap it with others, register the trades online, and track where it goes in the world. Get in the game today and help support some worthy causes.

One World Connects was founded to add a physical presence to social networking.   The idea was to create an icebreaker for people to meet one another in person and then create a forum for them to continue their relationship online.  At the same time, the wanted to create a socially responsible organization as well, one that supports and gives back to the communities in which we live and work.

All I can say is what a great concept… a Social Media centered game, that is played not only in person, but that gives you an opportunity or an excuse even to talk to other people interested in Social Media as well.  Another really cool feature of playing; the profits go to a different charity each month. Each Meridian cost $20 and can be engraved with up to 8 letters although if a custom engraving is chosen it can take around 3-6 weeks to arrive.  I have already ordered mine customized with my name ~AronPo

I am hoping that it arrives before Podcamp OH on June 20th, and that I ‘ll be able to find someone attending this year that is playing as well so the trading can begin.  After you have traded, the info for your meridian can be tracked online at One World Connects, and followed as it is traded across the states or even the Globe!  There are several ways to track your individual Meridian such as the amount of trades or even the distance traveled.

If you like to play games, meet new people, or want a interesting way to send a message around the world  the meridian may just be your way of getting it done.




  • Thanks for the awesome writeup Aron. I am glad you like the concept. A couple of notes to clarify stuff. To start, we will be donating the greater of 10% of profits or 1% of revenues to the charitable organizations and are working to finalize our input system from One World Citizens. Also, as a limited funded startup, our delivery times will be delayed to start, but as we get rolling, we plan to speed up our delivery of Meridians.

    Stay tuned as we plan to roll out our new site in the coming weeks and have our official Launch this fall. Thanks for the support.
