CP+B continues its Whopper infiltration for Burger King with a Facebook app that lets members sacrifice ten of their friends for a free taste of the burger.

Visitors with Facebook accounts can install the app, choose ten people from their list then remove them with the software to prove how they prefer the Whopper over them. So far, over 55,000 people have been de-friended and each will have been notified once you lower the guillotine.

Seriously, keeping up with all my social networks could be a full-time job. 

So it would be insanely awesome to have just one place to go to keep up with the on-goings of my pals, get instant updates on the latest Tweets, and even IM my friends. Dreams, meet reality. His name is Yoono.

Yoono is a free FireFox add on that lets you do all that in one little sidebar. Plus, it’s pretty easy on the eyes.

Yoono can keep you up on your Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Myspace, Aim, Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, and Imeem accounts so you don’t have to log in to the sites separately to update a thing — it’s all in one spot on your browser! How convenient, indeed.

This website is pretty sweet. You can see tons of different ads from around the world. The best part is, you can search by Category (print, tv, radio etc), Country, Industry, and even Agency. So if you are interested to see the most up to date Ads from all over the world, check this out: http://adsoftheworld.com/

Break out those retro 3-D glasses everyone,  because DreamWorks Animation and Pepsi’s SoBe beverages are teaming up with NBC and Intel Corp. to create a 3-D ad that will appear at the end of the second quarter during the Superbowl.

This eye-popping commercial interruption will include not only a trailer for the upcoming DreamWorks film “Monsters vs. Aliens” but also an ad for SoBe Life Water that features the popular SoBe lizards, which appeared during the game in 2008, alongside NFL stars and characters from the movie. NBC is encouraging viewers to keep their glasses for an episode of their sitcom “Chuck” that can be viewed in 3-D the next day.

Intel has produced more than 125 million pairs of 3-D glasses, which can be found at retail displays in grocery stores, drug stores and other retail venues beginning in early January. They will be free to consumers, who can also call 800-646-2904 to obtain a pair.

(Note - I called and they told me to call back in 2 weeks!)
