Sprite Jumps On the Social Networking Bandwagon

7 Jun, 2007 by Robert  No Comment

Fantastic! Looks like the internet just got one more way underage kids can “hook-up” and over-age pervs can get their fix all while satisfying their carbonated urges. Coca-Cola’s Sprite takes a stab at the social networking craze with its new “Sprite Yard,” a mobile-based social networking site aimed towards teens. ClickZ.com has the full story.

Yard acts as a mobile site for users to connect with peers, share photos, and discover content. Modules divide activities into six areas. Pix is an online photo gallery where users can share photos with friends and comment on friends’ photos. Scribbles acts as a message board or chat room where users can hold live conversations. Shouts is an SMS and e-mail-like messaging system with richness and texture. Planner allows users to post a two-week schedule to let friends know of their upcoming activities. Nuggets is a storehouse of digital mobile goodies like ringtones, mobisodes (mostly featuring lemon and lime characters) and other downloadables, which will be unlocked with PIN codes found on Sprint bottles.

Highly recommended video from Connected Ventures/IAC

Connected Ventures has released this fantastic video of their working environment, located in NYC. Connected Ventures is a part of InterActive Corp (or IAC), which also happens to own a variety of sites including Ask.com, Chemistry.com, CollegeHumor, Evite.com, Match.com. But seriously though, after watching this video, and looking at their offices and the unbelievable perks (and attractive people), wouldn’t you want to work there?
