Skittles Mystery

After searching we found out what these skittles emotions are about, it turns out to be that skittles are running a promotion on bebo.

Michael Birch, CEO of Bebo.com:

He pointed to a campaign that Bebo ran with Skittles, letting users place Skittles-branded Web "skins" on their pages. "We don't force it on anybody. People opt into it and every day we get around 300,000 views of the Skittles skin on people's profile, so they are promoting Skittles to their friends, but they are opting in. You have to go out and pitch this to an agency," he said.

And Jim Scheinman from Bebo talked about how a user mentioned one weekend that he ate 14 packs of Skittles. He said that the user started to become a "representative" for Skittles on Bebo, drawing more attention to the Skittles brand. These are the kinds of branding opportunites which are starting to appear on social networks. read more...

Skittles says on there bebo page:

We are hooking up with Bebo to launch a set of Skittles® Emoticons that you can use all over Bebo, just like the recently released and emoticons. Only thing is, we need to name them!

New social networking site attempts to woo punters.

A new social networking website - originally begun as a graduate project by a DIT student - is primed to go head-to-head with Bebo in a bid to attract users.

Nimble.ieis an online community which, like MySpace, enables web users to get - and stay - in contact with friends and family. The online community provides an easy way for users to create a presence on the internet, and add "friends" to their network.

Nimble.ie is hoping to woo people away from established social networking sites, particularly Irish Beboers, by offering more entertaining functions than its competitors, and by including plenty of local information to keep users up to date on news and new developments
