Streets of Net was founded on 26.March.2009 to bring together all websites, forums and blogs in the Streets of Net to create fast, different, funny and useful environment for both building owners (advertisers) and visitors. When you purchase a building, visitors will be able to see a screenshot and description about your website, forum or blog. Moreover, when they click on your building, they will go to your website, forum or blog.

Building prices; between $3 dollars and $5 dollars!

Fun idea!

Skittles have launched a new website! Compiling all of the social and user-generated media that exists around their product, as opposed to providing an actual destination, the new site is just a means of driving visitors to this content. With a little navigational overlay, each tab drives you somewhere else online where skittles content lives. Choose videos and you are driven to Youtube. Chatter takes you to a Twitter search of every mention of Skittles. Pictures takes you to Flickr and of course Friends takes you to Facebook…

They are letting the consumers conversations speak for their product.

Embracing social and user-generated content has its risks, but companies cannot afford to ignore it. Bringing it to the center of their customers attention like this isn’t necessary…

Inspired by the current pixel advertising craze, two students at the International Film School in Wales are asking people to donate money to fund their first feature movie. In return, those who donate £3 or more will receive a screen credit as executive producer.
The students aim at raising a million dollars by involving thousands of sponsors. And while they are at it, they also hope to get in the book of Guinness World Records for the movie with the longest list of credits.

Skype is now running a brilliant little cross promotional marketing campaign called “Win a Conversation with Coldplay“. Apparently, you can leave a Skype voicemail message for Coldplay and the band will call whoever leaves their favourite message.

Click on the Skype Coldplay button to leave a message and your Skype Name. The band will have a listen and whoever leaves them the best or most interesting message will win a call with Coldplay over Skype.

Now you can still claim to be at the gym or the supermarket, or working late at the office.”

As for the concept, there were already a number of big television ads, from Vodafone and Telecom, explaining what video calling is all about, so their idea was to announce the arrival of Nokia’s video calling in a different way and on a much smaller budget.

Good Job guys!

TRYVERTISING, which is all about consumers becoming familiar with new products by actually trying them out.
