    Hey all

    have a look at this:

    http://www.skittles.com/

    They have the Twitter search for "Skittles" as their homepage. what does anyone think? Brave certainly, but will it get old very quickly?

    :)

    I was sent to the Wiki page?
    Looks a bit dodgy to me, this big red pop-up type thing telling me to give my DOB, very strange..

    They have since changed their homepage, it was their twitter search term - so basically if anyone tweeted with "skittles" in the text it went onto this page. theyve since replaced it with their Wiki page, which is a bit bizarre!

    open to huge abuse, people were tweeting "*racial slur, swear word, general nastiness* skittles" to get on their homepage :)

    home/chatter = twitter
    pics = flickr
    videos = youtube
    friends = facebook (error screen)
    products = wikipedia
    contact = their own web form.

    viral marketing.
