Um, got to meet some reality-web-show-celebrities..Rewebrities?

So since this Super Bowl commercial aired I picked a team and have been hooked on the Ford Focus Rally. Not only cool for the chance to win a car, but because of the way they are delivering content and allowing "followers" to interact with the teams. Besides some trivia questions, and some puzzle challenges that actually boost your teams chances at head-starts, the interactivity  includes a map that updates team locations, a live-feed video from the cab of their car, and a daily leader board. Best part, the "episodes" are aired on the rally site, or Hulu.(The Amazing Race should take a page form this book)

Its been fun to follow a team, listen to their stories about the challenges that air later and generally feel like you are contributing. I happen to be with #teamGREY, who consists of John Jung and Carolyn Bee. They are both from Seattle and are actually doing very well, 1st place at time of posting. In fact, you guys should join this team, they have the fewest followers, but have had been in 1st the last few legs. So, imagine my fan boy, excitement when they announced that they would be going through New Mexico, to stop in White Sands and Santa Fe. Then double that when I heard on Sunday afternoon that they were headed down I-40, not to pass through Gallup.. but to stay the night! Yep, you bet I hit them up, asked if I could swing by and say hi...and they were like .. sure, come on by! Um, yeah, I was sorta excited, wanna say thanks to John and Carolyn again. Check out the full album, including the cars.
