– The US Army is using webcasts by overseas soldiers to bait new recruits. The series is called — wait for it! — “Straight from Iraq.” Soldiers are ready to take your questions.

– Keep up with Advergirl’s social manifesto on how companies are using social media. It’s illustrated!

Weeplant makes little trees and flowers that you can carry around in a nurturing plastic capsule. Because why pass around digital sprouts on Facebook when you can tote REAL! cacti in a keychain. (And yes, yes, for certain purchases you help reforest a deforested forest.)
