Web Marketing Digest - March 12

This week's post has some great informative data on the state of the internet today and its usage over time, a game that puts your twitter stats to use, a creative way to open marketers' eyes to content marketing and something we truly thought we'd never see.

Intrigued? Read on.

From Captains of Industry, an innovative contest which should hopefully help some marketers realize that their content is a little lacking. The Incredibly Boring Web Content Challenge is over now, but if you go to the website you can see a video with some of the entries. Should your content have been entered in the challenge?

Believe it or not there is now an iPhone game called  Tweet Defense  which combines social media and mobile gaming. The object of the game is to build up defenses and kill zombies and it uses your twitter stats (number of followers, friends tweets etc.) to up your power in the game.

A study about the internet done by the BBC which has some great facts including one which states that 4 out of 5 people believe the internet is a fundamental right and an interactive graphic showing the change in internet usage over time.

And finally, as promised, a warning that we never thought we would need to see.

Have a great weekend!
