Four square is also a popular
social activity at LinkedIn. After scooter races, basketball and
Whiffle ball flopped as company sports contenders, the Mountain View
online service that connects professionals kicked off afternoon four
square bouts on a back parking lot. "Different people had different recollections of the different
rules they played by in elementary school," said Chris Saccheri,
30-year-old LinkedIn director of Web development. "So we made it up as
we went along." Four square has become so popular that in May, when LinkedIn
hosted a lunch for fellow geeks at its offices, the company handed out
four square balls sporting the company logo.
Now the competition seems to be heating up. Mountain View-based
job search engine SimplyHired recently challenged LinkedIn to a four
square match.
