I think everyone agrees exceptional and horrible help desk experiences can make lasting impressions. Everyone has had to deal with that incredibly inept or perhaps really fantastic call center representative in a desperate time of need. On the flip side, service desk agents have their own stories to tell, of clueless users, obtuse systems and heroic colleagues.
Serena is kicking off a Twitter Help Desk Haiku Poem Contest to capture these experiences in verse.
We want you to tap into your creative side for a chance to win an iPad 2 and hear your most horrendous or utopian help desk stories in the form of a Haiku poem. The contest will kick off on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 and end on September 26, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
To enter, write and submit a Haiku poem (17 syllables total with three lines of 5-7-5 syllables) on a help desk experience. Each line of the Haiku should be separated by a period, comma or slash. All entries must be submitted via Twitter to @Serena_Software, and include the hash tag #HelpDeskHaiku.
A panel of judges will select a winner based on creativity, humor and relevance. The winner will be announced at Fusion 11 hosted by itSMF and via Twitter on September 27th, 2011.
