share with a friend.

9. Pepsi Like machine
It’s becoming a bit of a branded vending machine
war out there. Coca-Cola being one of the main ones
with a variety of interactive machines. Now Pepsi has
stepped up with a vending machine which rewards a
Facebook likes with a can of Pepsi. Good for
sampling and gaining data.

13. Jay Z and Samsung
The biggest name in hip hop (Jay Z) is releasing his
latest album exclusively on Samsung phones 72
hours before it goes fully public. Big names and
cool credentials, but what will the album be like?
Can a paid for collaboration like this prove to be
more of a sales driver than an iOS update? we shall
see.

14. Skittle Figurines
Skittles Smash the rainbow, with a nice use of
YouTube annotations. Using them in this way isn’t
new and has been done many times before, but it
has been a while since someone has done it well.
Glad they haven’t disappeared.
