If Social Media Sites Were Cocktails
When we came across this social media-inspired cocktail menu the other day, it had us wondering what a marriage between two things we spend a lot of time with would look like. It comes to us from the New York City location of the Mandarin Oriental hotel, where marketers dreamed up Internet-themed cocktails as a way to (ideally) boost their social media presence. They took four popular websites where the hotel has a presence: Twitter, Tumblr, Trip Advisor, and Google, and turned them into $19 drinks, calling the whole menu “The Like Page,” an homage to their Facebook presence. Note: a URL is nowhere in sight on the menu: “[We’re] easily found by googling Mandarin Oriental, New York for our Twitter and/or Tumblr,” explained Mandarin Oriental Communications Coordinator Jaimie Desantis to The Atlantic Wire.
We’ll give them some credit: the drinks actually try to capture the essence of each of the sites. Is this what the Internet would taste like if it got you drunk?

Social Media? There’s a Magazine for That
No, seriously, there is. Not that that’s a bad thing but perhaps we’d feel a little more secure in its quality and viability if the Web site itself was a little more — how shall we say — inspired.
