lifetakesvisa.com, a similar initiative as the drink companies; ofcourse for VISA and it launches tommorow. seems like this one would be interesting, with lots of content....

Saw some interesting videos, but how much can brand sites connect with users? not much i'd believe, we're still used to seeing brands in adverts!

Fast Company talks about 17 year old Ashley Qualls, whose built whateverlife.com a site that provides customised layouts to girls for their myspace pages.. it reaches some 7 million people and already quotes valuation in millions. Sounds like a cool idea, never thought of it ..but the challenge could be in scaling the property .. it's more entertainment media than anything else!
