What is the ADversaries challenge? It's the thing we all do anyway, we pit the greatest advertising icons against each other, and now there's an actual facebook page game for it, created by Texas ad agency Sanders\Wingo.

“What started as the typical creative debate about the industry developed into one of those ‘wouldn’t it be cool’ moments,” Executive Creative Director Shanteka Sigers, said. “Every single agency and every marketing department tosses around the conversation about industry icons. We just took it online to let everyone weigh in on naming the greatest.”

type.method.ac is a game where you kern to win. Because we don't do enough kerning all day as it is! We're suckers for this, really. We even got the T-shirt and the hoodie.

Amsterdam ad agency THEY are seeking interns who understands that a brief should... you know... be brief - and the best ideas can be briefly explained as well. So they set up a twitter-challenge, @TweetaBrief where they've tweeted out 140 char briefs and creatives can respond either with tweets or DM's.

The winning intern gets 6 months paid internship at THEY Amsterdam, and better still: "the winning intern will live in this neighborhood Plantage Muidergracht". OOoh, fancy. I hope they don't mean in the dodgy half-sunken boat on the left there.

There's only 24 hours left on this, answer one of these briefs for a chance to win!

This is Sara Nitz' submission.

The plan of the game creators, molleindustria, was to redirect the money earned on the game to the organizations that are fighting corporate abuses.

Campaign has collected the cream of billboards & posters (and two of them are for the creme of Manchester) at the outdoor hall of fame, and wants you to help vote for the very best and your personal favorites. My tip is, start in the 60s, choose your favorites, and ignore the fact that "Reg on Smoking" shows up in the 80's category even if it was from 1992. Cast your votes, I have.

Pregnant or currently aiming to be? Well, if you pop out a dragon-slaying baby the 11/11/11 this year, you could be the happy winner of an unknown reward - provided you turn your child's name into ad-space for the Elder Scrolls V game by naming the baby Dovahkiin.

Announced on Bethesda's blog: Ladies and gentlemen - start your creation engines. They're taking it seriously enough to offer 'a Steam key that will grant you, and presumably Dovahkiin him/herself, every ZeniMax/Bethesda game - past, present and future - for life' but the rest of the unknown reward is still a secret, in other words they're just making this up as they go along. ;) It's been tweeted 153 times already, a sudden PR-boost they might not have expected, but they're having fun with it. Especially in the disclaimer.

Disclaimer: Any reward for completing this quest will not ultimately justify the potential teasing your child could - and probably will - endure over its lifespan. Bethesda Softworks is not responsible for your parenting. You may gain experience points for completing this quest, but you will not care at 3am on a work night. Completion of this quest may also result in decreased desire to play video games and/or function as a human being. Consult with your friends before embarking on this quest; while it may not start in prison, it probably ends there.

That reminds me Iuma Dylan-Lucas - named after Iuma.com - turns eleven years old this year. Back then it only cost 5000 dollars to name a kid after a .com

If you're sick of Super Bowl ad news, take a break by heading over to Design Observer and play "Name That Design Person!" with only a baby picture for clue. I've guessed David Carson on the little strawberry-blond baby above, based solely on the wee little nose, but I might be wrong and there's new baby pictures coming. Winners get a Designer Observer Tee. Oh, I hope I was right! I want a tee!

En-route gamers also have the opportunity to collect icons to be in with the chance of winning phone credit, instantly, or entry into daily the draw for an iPod Touch.

Take a shot at creating this year's call for entries. - what's in it for me? "The winner will get a seat on the 2011 Andy Jury" OMG so exiting, I get to work for free as a reward for working for free, this new crowdsourced economy stuff really rocks.

Anyway, if you wanna take a crack at it, the way in is in the link above. If your squirrel fight doesn't include bad kung-fu moves and randomly playing dead, you fail. Watch the pro's below do it.

The wildfires in Russia are devastating and Russian troops are busy digging canals to protect nuclear sites.

"I woke up this morning, looked out of the window and saw a monstrous situation," said President Dmitry Medvedev. "We all want this heat wave to pass, but this is not in our hands, it is decided above."

But if there's one thing Russians are good at, it's making lemonade. While smoke rolls in over the cities, HTC started twitter contest for the best smoke photo, and a chance to win the new HTC Wildfire smartphone. You play by snapping a good photo and then hashtagging it #HTC_Wildfire and #smog. There hasn't been a press release yet, but Russians are already sending in lots of pictures to twitter - for us not eligible to compete it provides a realtime update of the current smog situation.

Maybe HTC should give these guys, who were suddenly surrounded by fire after driving into a village to help a phone as well, that footage can't be beat. (scary!)
