I applaud Skittles for “giving power to the people” and trying something that has not been done before for a large brand. Will it be perfect right away? Nope. But, at least they tried. I also mark this as the start of Web 3.0 where organizations will start to harness the social networks and make it work for them.

I’ll second your “what the hell” with an emphatic WTF! I just “attempted” to look at the site and got their pop-up requesting I verify my age and it also contained verbage that amounted to a disclaimer about anything I might read going forward.

It’s their site and they’re trying to disavow the content before I even get there? How about controlling the content you serve up to visitors?!? I also hated the first paragraph in their disclaimer: “Hold your horses. Before you can check out Skittles.com, you’ve gotta tell us your age. So spill it:”, Oh, they’re so whacky and hip…I got so annoyed, I halted my expedition and turned back. If that’s what they’re trying for, they succeeded. To quote Charlie Brown: “Good grief!”.
