New Media Exploration

I came across this site while I was reading this article about Flash. A developer was mentioning that flash would be non-existent soon and that he no longer uses it on his websites. But I was reading the comments and a lot of people were disagreeing especially when it came to interactive media. One of the people who commented posted a link to a site which I never been to before but it has over 11 million facebook likes. It's called  http://www.takethislollipop.com/

You log into the website using your Facebook account. It asked you to allow the site to access your friends and photo's just for the interactive experience. Then it shows this psycho guy going through your account and all your information and your pictures come up. Then google maps pops up and it shows your city and location. Then the guy jumps into his car and then supposedly drives to your location.

I think this was a pretty cool site. The interaction was pretty intense especially when it uses your actual pictures. It makes you wonder how the developer came up with this Idea. The way it was filmed looks very professional and where they filmed it definitely set the tone.
