Here’s your chance to vent some stress and be in one of the most popular video game franchises ever!

Rockstar Games is currently giving anyone who calls their “WKTT Radio Hotline” a chance to express their feelings about whats wrong with their health, the world, America, or themselves.

This is such a great idea… It gives fans the opportunity to be part of the game, it gives Rockstar free content, and it creates a chance to sell more games. In fact, here is a perfect chance to harness the power of social media. For instance, they could produce and provide HTML badges to the lucky chosen “talent” that announce their “guest appearance” in the new GTA, so they would be able to post it on the web for others to see.

As well, I hope other video game developers get inspired by this and start implementing similar ideas in their game development.

Just imagine being able to to send in your photo and having a chance to be chosen as a character the next Tom Clancy game or sending in your own drawings/paintings and having them appear as scenery items in the next Resident Evil. In fact, the possibilities are endless, so it will be cool to see what is to come of all this.

Nevertheless, if your interested in the chance to brag to your friend about being in the new Grand Theft Auto. Just follow the link below…

Since Facebook officially launched the “Facebook Platform” in May, it has become more popular than ever. In fact, InsideFacebook.com has reported 65 million apps added by users in the first month alone.

The added functionality has no doubt been a shot of life for Facebook. So much that just the other day Facebook reported hitting thirty million active members on the site!

This got me thinking however: what exactly determines an “active” member within social networks?!

• If a member signs in once every two months to check their page: is that an active member?

• Is the active member number based on the amount of unique members signing in for the past month?

There is great debate as to what exactly is an active user. And until there is a standard definition for “active user” established… I guess MySpace can call a user that signed in once in the past 11 months an active user or whatsoever they please.

Nevertheless, this is very troubling; something both users and online marketers need to keep an eye out for. When social networks have the ability to use the word “active user” as they please, we all must be little hesitant when believing such news.

Oh… and don’t forget the countless number of robot operated spam pages on MySpace; they count as active users too!
