The Starbucks idea website is pretty cool too.
Thoughts?
The Rand Mcnally one has a chance to win a free scooter! GM just gave away a car too? Does this actually work as a marketing tool? Just curious what the QBN thoughts are.

The only 2 examples that made it. In order of popularity.
Myspace - Terrible design and functionality, but it seems like people don't care.
Facebook - Just like myspace, less chances of get spammed, because teens don't use it that much there is no pedos lurking around.

social netowrks are getting more of a niche thing though, they don't have to be huge so long as they attract the right group of people

So brands are still requesting social networks to be built around their message?
This already started going on it's way out last year, can't have too much life left in it.
