Angry Birds... we "Like" you too, blog and social media REsources

 Hi guys... like most people on the net, when it comes to marketing, advertising and branding I'm pretty jaded and it takes something really special to get my attention. This did...

 I'm always amused and impressed how the simplest things seem to grab me. If you haven't played the wildly successful game Angry Birds, you've probably heard about it. 

 Ans if you visit the Angry Birds fan page on Facebook you'll see this welcome page...

 If you click on the "Like" button to become a fan, you'll see...

 How cute is that? It made me smile and I "Liked" it enough to want to share it.  Maybe I'm just easily amused today but I thought this was a great example of really connecting with someone!

To save you time, here are some of my favorite resources that I found on the web this week.
