Skittles Continues To Impress

Yet another interesting social offering from Twitter is "Mob the Rainbow."  The first mobbing effort was initiated via Facebook and called fans to shower an unsuspecting meter maid with love in the form of printed and hand delivered Valentines.  More than 40K fans participated, and the delivery of their love notes by a Skittles cupid was documented in a web video.  I'm eagerly awaiting the next mobbing...

Waste Management Goes Social

Larry O'Donnell is willing to get his hands dirty in order to change the way we think about trash.

Spotlight on Skittles: Experience the Rainbow

We're loving the new Skittles.com site care of Big Spaceship. Between the quirky shareable content and the microsite created out of FirstBorn that pulls in YouTube videos of fans pitching and/or catching Skittles (and did we mention places the videos side by side so that they interact with each other) - the whole experience is pretty awesome stuff if you ask us.

Spotlight on Starbucks Love Project

Last week, Starbucks and (RED) came together to celebrate the year's donations with a global singalong of The Beatles "All You Need Is Love."  Now, visitors are invited to join the cause and upload their own versions of the tune or add drawings to the site's Love gallery. For each contribution, Starbucks will donate $.05 to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa  Sounds pretty good to us!
