On average, the US spends about 32 hours online every month. Some of you are probably startled by this, but for those of you that are like me and spend their waking hours with one arm?constantly?submerged in cyberland and the other arm texting, this is not?surprising?at all. I tried to think of what might captivate me if I didn?t work with social media, and I instantly thought back to my hardcore gaming days. Below is a ranking of the top ten growing sites in the Online Leisure Games category, and from it we can pull some pretty interesting conclusions: in third place we find HoneyDefender.com, a quasi-advertising game modeled after the Honey Nut Cheerios?mascot. That?s some pretty positive branding right there. Does this mean that arcade ploys are how brands can attract large volumes of traffic? That depends on if your brand?s mascot inspires courage, or at least a modicum of sympathy. It?s not something I?d suggest for most brands, but for Honey Nut Cheerios it?s certainly getting them major points.
