imkevin: inothernews: alaskamiller: Skittles updated their homepage. It’s now simply a Twitter search page with skittles as the keyword. Clicking on video now takes you to their YouTube page while pictures will take you to their Flickr account and products now simply go to the relevant Wikipedia entries. This is fucking genius. The game? It has changed. That’s a bold move — I wouldn’t have predicted any company to do something like that even though I had considered similar things for past clients. This is just basically a rip off of Modernista right? I don’t see what’s so “game-changing” here. It’s been done before and will be again.
