With the Olympics flames still burning red hot in my mind, I’m going to share another sports-related campaign.  you guys might have seen it before as this is not so new.. but for those of you who haven’t ….

Basically, it’s a campaign that we are running to allow you to customize winks in messenger.  A wink is the thing that pops up in your messenger chat window and run in your friend’s screen.  Well I admit that sometimes it could be annoying but at certain times it could be fun :) 

Just go to this site:

http://yourinnerathlete.windowslive.com/?locale=en-ca&ocid=TXT_MSGTB_WLYIA_ca

It will ask you a few questions and determine what type of “athlete” are you.  (I’m a ping pong player in this case), and at the end, it will ask you to upload your own headshot and then it will merge it with the cartoon character.  You can then have a choice to install it for free on your messenger and that character will be available as a wink completely free.  It won’t even try to reset your homepage or search default, just a clean simple download :).  And hey, if you don’t like it, you can remove it with one click [Go to Winks, Show all, remove].

What athlete is in you?

As Olympics are behind us, I’m sure a few of you are having the same feeling as I do – emptiness.  No more checking up on medal counts during after work hours, waking up early to catch a few games, watching endless replays…

Anyway, was going through a few discussion alias and found the following created by our popfly team, found it pretty cool and want to share with you guys.  My personal favourite is the track and field :)
