I’m sure there’s a few agencies out there who would feel at home including this in their Employee Orientation handbook.

Love that Sesame Street is throwing around words like “sycophants.”

I’ve heard that EA Sports suffers a bit in the gaming community’s eyes for being a Leviathan. But I bet they won over a few fans with their latest effort for Tiger Woods PGA Tour ‘08.

Seems like a fan had found a glitch in the video game and posted it for the world to see on YouTube – causing almost a million views and a lot of comment bitching about EA in general.

Did EA run and hide? Did they stomp their giant feet and threaten? Nope:

Yay for EA engaging on the playing field and having a good time doing it. Their video got over 3 million hits and now the chatter on the other video’s comments are about EA’s response.

A lot of brands are uncertain how to deal with social media and the free exchange of opinions. In the candy world alone – Snickers closed down snikerz.com, while Skittles turned their home page into an unregulated, real-time Twitter feed of a Skittles search.

Haven’t we figured out that the tighter you try to hold on, the more you’re gonna lose? And come on, Snickers. You’re a candy for cripes sake. Why so serious?
