this is the pepsi challenge
"Pepsi began U.S. distribution of aluminum bottles of Mountain Dew with a series of 12 limited-run designs created by young artists and personalities. The series, called Green Label Art, is supported by a microsite with video filmed by participating artists.
Each artist applied artwork to the aluminum bottle to convey his image of Mountain Dew. Artists represent disciplines such as graffiti, tattoo arts, graphic arts, stencil and collage. Pepsi enlisted Mountain Dew-sponsored professional skateboarder Paul Rodriguez to collaborate with skater-turned-artist Chris Pastras on one execution.
The Web site, created by Seed Gives Life, houses behind-the-scenes videos contributed by each artist, schedules and highlights of planned events to support Green label Art, and details on a consumer-generated bottle design contest.
To drive awareness and traffic to the microsite, Pepsi reached out to Mountain Dew consumers through the brand's e-mail list. Respondents can enter to win bottles.
The Pepsi brand recently released several newly-designed cans and a series of microsites representing each one. The Pepsi and Mountain Dew activities aren't related, but do speak to a Pepsi initiative.
"Pepsi is changing the designs on its packaging on a regular basis across the country from now on," said Pepsi spokesperson Nicole Bradley."

Skill level: Advanced
Concept: By writing his own programs, or machines as he likes to call them, Joshua Davis is able to create unique interactive and animated compositions. In this workshop students will use Macromedia Flash 8 and ActionScript to learn how to program the 'brushes,' the 'paints,' the 'strokes,' the rules and the boundaries to generate their own artmaking machines.
Media & Techniques: Macromedia Flash 8 and ActionScript on Macintosh computers. Advancement of basic Flash design skills to develop working prototypes of interactive design and animation; presentation of concepts to speed up production and achieve more flexibility.
Activities: Daily demonstrations of different features of ActionScript; hands-on exercises; one-on-one help to apply the techniques; creation of a complete small project.
Prerequisites: Students must have a basic understanding of Flash and ActionScript.

Facebook released an API last year and new startup Mosoto is putting it to good use. Mosoto is a Flex 2.0 application that sits on top of your Facebook account via the API and allows you to share files, chat with friends, and discover new ones. The app has a desktop layout, where you control different mini applications for sharing files, chatting, discovering friends, and sharing music. And what struck me as awesome was the ability to login with your facebook identity and pull up your information into their layout. I predict we will see lots more of these sites. Open source has always scared big companies because giving away their code seems like giving away the secret sauce. I think any company with an API should be thinking ".. What if a company comes along and builds something better and allows all my customers to transfer their content to the opossing service..", basically making it easier than normal to jump ship and switch providers.
If social networks were banks, interest rates and atm locations would be the issue. If bank A can cut interest rates by not having as many tellers and atm machines, and builds a base around those cheap rates and services.. And then bank X comes along and says well give you those same rates and well will provide atm machines everywhere too.. And we will allow you to keep your same pin number for the atm machines..
So on one side we want to open the doors and let people (including our competitors) share information freely.. and on the other hand.. We need to make money and hold our cards.. Bottom line is people are winning when this kind of shuffle happens, our thoughts are taken into consideration.. And in some cases are the deciding factor.
I recently saw a great post on mashable.com - 10 Awesome Things Built on the Facebook API
Including facebook to twitter which allows you to send an SMS update when you edit your status. (which is essentially the core functionality behind twitter)
So, lets come up with some new ways to use facebooks api and play the reindeer games.
