The campaign revolved around a series of games that were all run through Twitter with post-its being removed at each stage for people to try and win the phone. The best little twist is the fact that users had to try and get a celebrity to Retweet them as the very last clue to win the phone. The entire campaign generated a whopping 56,000 Tweets around the competition over the 3 days that the activity was run. Mentionmap - A Twitter Visualization. DJ der guten Laune. Definitions.

Really, those first few steps of creating the structure of the CSS template just annoys me – and for lots and lots of people, it’s just plain hard to do. That’s why developers have been working on creating tools to generate CSS layout frameworks for the past few years, and some have been more successful than others. I hope to evaluate most of them, but today is focused on what I especially like – YAML Builder.

YAML Builder is described as a tool for visual development of CSS layouts, and the way it works is really sweet. By simply making a few choices from the options presented, you can quickly create multi-column layouts in various widths and with choices of navigation options. The options tool sits on top of the generated layout, and as you make changes to the various options, the generated layout underneath immediately reflects the changes you made. Is it free?

In Institutions We Trust, or Not

That’s at least 150 million people spending billions of collective hours connecting with friends, interacting with brands and revealing some amount of personal information. Considering those numbers, it’s hard to believe how few people actually trust social networks. In a survey by Vision Critical, only 16% of respondents said online social networks were “completely” or “very trustworthy.” Only chat rooms and blogs scored lower in the trust meter, and the media—both online and traditional—were substantially more trusted than social nets. What gives? A couple of factors are likely to blame for the low levels of trust in social networks. The other likely factor is bad publicity around Facebook’s privacy settings. Vorstand.

Mobile has broken through to reach the mainstream of digital advertising in 2010, according to US ad spending estimates by eMarketer.

This year, US mobile ad spending will be up 79% to reach $743 million, eMarketer forecasts. That growth will slow somewhat to still-dramatic double-digit rates as spending hits over $1.1 billion in 2011 and more than $2.5 billion by 2014. “The expansion of the smartphone market and the attractive usage and demographic profile of smartphone owners have forced more marketers to pay closer attention to mobile,” said Noah Elkin, eMarketer senior analyst and author of the forthcoming report “Mobile Advertising and Marketing: Moving Past the Tipping Point.” Video, display and search ad spending on mobile will all more than double this year, according to the forecast, while growth in messaging advertising will lag behind other more sophisticated mobile formats.

Jetzt: Places geht in Deutschland und der Schweiz online. Es ist soweit, nachdem in der vergangen Woche bereits umfangreiche Ortslisten für Deutschland und die Schweiz eingepflegt wurden geht Facebook Places heute in diesen beiden Ländern online.

This post originally appeared on the American Express OPEN Forum, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about leveraging social media and technology in small business. Social games, like FarmVille, Mafia Wars and MyTown, racked up a number of high-value brand partnerships during the past year, and the social gaming industry in general is seeing huge interest from investors and consumers. The top 10 Facebook games, for example, all have more than 10 million monthly active users each, with FarmVille leading at 62 million monthly active users, followed by FrontierVille at nearly 37 million and Zynga Poker with nearly 33 million.

Granted, these are small portions of Facebook's total network of more than 500 million users. But with a budding industry like social gaming, these are still impressive numbers, especially given the growth that these games are experiencing — all of the top 10 games were launched after 2008, with the top three games being launched after mid-2009.
