Shave The Pussy: RFSU Promotes Their Newest Products Via Virtual. ShareThis The RSFU's latest interactive microsite, Shave your Pussy, was created to sell their newest personal shaving products and is the most entertaining and imaginative idea I've seen in awhile. Brought to my attention by my friend Scott Rench, www.shavethepussy.com is a site that allows you to style your 'fiffi' -- as they call it. The site features their newest line of products , shaving tips and allows you to show your pubic styling prowess: Shave the animated pubic hair, save it and add it to their gallery and you could win a complete barber set! Wanna try your hand at it? Maybe this gallery of previously designed "fiffis" will inspire you: The RFSU is a real organization that promotes sexual products, information and the study of sexuality. They sell condoms, tampons, lubricants, intimate personal care products and more.

They have lines like "Trust In Lust" (shown below), Ellen tampons, Flavored condoms and more. Shave the pussy. Microsoft’s ‘Ten Grand’ Competition Ends, Was Actually Pretty Cl. Remember that online competition Microsoft Australia set up where they’d give away $10,000 to someone who found the cash, that was buried somewhere on the Internet? The aim was to promote Internet Explorer 8, and visitors of the campaign website as it was launched initially told users of other browsers to ‘get lost’ in rather rude way, which led to a Mozilla developer setting up a parodying website in response (and MS being forced to change the wording).

Anyway, the treasure hunt apparently ended quietly a while back, when the campaign’s Twitter account announced that on August 18 someone had successfully retrieved both a website address and the password needed to access it. The winner, Gavin Ballard, was announced 11 days ago and I just stumbled across this blog post on i.techreport who revealed that the website was FastSafePrivateBetter.com and the password was ‘Courval’. It took Ballard 67 clues and 65 days to get to the correct answer. Twitter Promotion Done Right: #moonfruit. A few weeks ago, we wrote about a promotion from website builder Squarespace, where the company offered up 30 iPhones in 30 days to be randomly awarded to users who included #squarespace with their tweets. The campaign worked in getting exposure - #squarespace was on top of trending topics for several days in a row – but we took issue with some of the messaging, as in reality, users were getting gift cards, not iPhones.

Commenters had mixed reactions – some questioned how we could complain about something free (and we did ourselves in the article!) , while others agreed it was misleading. In any event, rival website builder Moonfruit has launched their own version of a hashtag-based campaign, and seems to have avoided the problems we saw with the Squarespace promotion. Like the Squarespace promo, Moonfruit is offering up free Apple products for tweeting their company name as a hashtag: #moonfruit. Not surprisingly, this promotion is working. Wärtsilä - designafish.
