You may have noticed we have had a birdhouse hanging here at gspdigital.com housing a pair of birds from Audubon’s Birding the Net contest that we at GSP have been a part of. It’s not too late to start birding, in fact, the competition is just beginning to heat up. Get started by rolling over a bird above or visit the game on Facebook.
More stats, now to satisfy your curiosity about the visitors heading to some of the biggest websites out there.

A Miami ad school concept campaign lets you play Russian roulette with your Facebook account.
Sort of a reverse Whopper Sacrifice for higher stakes. Interesting strategy capitalizing on the growing importance of one’s virtual life.
You have to wonder though, if this was a real concept how would it be spread if it keeps zapping people’s profiles, the very place where their friends would learn about it? :)
