Affinitive’s Social Media Playground

We’ve rounded up all the recent news that had the inter-office IMs dinging. As this week comes to a close, we’re logging out with these in mind:

Spotify Has Landed in America!

Spotify has been on everyone’s lips this past week, and it’s no surprise why. Designed with the joy of sharing playlists in mind, Spotify’s popular, accessible and seemingly limitless model has finally arrived Stateside. Invites to this music service have been highly coveted; the rollout targeted influencers by offering invites first via Klout, then via influential singers and bands, and then finally to those who signed up for a Spotify notification when the service was first unveiled across the pond years ago. For those whose Klout scores weren’t high enough or who couldn’t finagle an invite from Lady Gaga, don’t fret! There’s an option to jump queue by signing up for Spotify Premium or Unlimited.

Domino’s Bares All in Times Square

Move over, Naked Cowboy: Domino’s Pizza will also be baring all in Times Square. They’ve installed a ticker on a  billboard that will livestream “unfiltered” Tweets (Tweets with inappropriate language will be excluded) culled from the Domino’s order tracker. The Twitter campaign will run till August 23 and coincides with a new TV campaign. This is either brilliant or mad, but we’ll be reading along to see the outcome.

Top Chef’s Quickfire Challenge on Twitter

Padma and Tom from Top Chef decided to take to Twitter to crowdsource inspiration and ideas from savvy foodies. Fans were invited to participate in a Quickfire challenge – all they had to do was tweet at @bravotopchef with their genius ideas. To ensure that their suggestions were seen, fans were asked to use the #TCQuickFire hashtag. While our coworker’s bacon desserts suggestion went unheeded, a friend of the office’s rather tongue-in-cheek suggestion of a hash dish for a hashtag challenge was picked!
