What with Royal Mail workers doomed, big banks being frauded,
and general recession depression, today we would like to offer you
something a little more uplifting.
Sock and Awe is a lovely little web app game where you get to
throw shoes at George W Bush.
It's also a stunning example of how quickly the switched-on web
entrepreneur can turn out a fun and instantly popular product. In a
few hours the guys at soon-to-be-launched comedy website Pop Jam
created this on the back of the news that - well, if you don't know
the news story you ain't gonna get the game.Also neatly creating a
bit of pre-launch buzz around themselves and reaching a big
audience through viral marketing in an incredibly innovative way. A
great bit of PR - remembering not to annoy people, to get people
involved and make things enjoyable. And using the power of
word-of-mouth and the internet to get the name and idea out. Big
marketing ticks all round, and pretty big smiles too.
