Schweppes Facebook Profile App

In this post a few weeks ago I posted a video showing some creative uses of the new facebook profile page. A few days ago Schweppes released this facebook app that helps you construct quite the artistic profile pic for yourself.

The app is a bit high involvement for quite an insipid reward, and the link to Schweppes is tenuous to say the least, but it is a good example of how a quick reaction to a trend online can be effective even if the idea isn't that strong.

Anti-Social: Social Network Blocker

Anti-Social is a handy program for mac that shuts down all of the major social networking sites for an alloted time, giving you the time to focus and actually do some work for a change. You can add sites to your blocks if they're not included. Distraction is annoying, and between email and social media it's harder than ever to focus when the world is a click away. !!SHAMELESS SELF PROMO ALERT!! I wrote about distraction here on The Knot Collective, and this nifty piece of software definitely helps in the fight against anti-focus.

Thanks to Ro for the link.
