I can’t get enough toning!
Do you know what I wear around my house all day long instead of slippers?
And now I’m so excited that Crocs has launched crocs tone™ so I can sneak in some extra toning as I run around my house chasing after my little munchkins.
(They have four different styles… which do you like best? I think the flats are the cutest and will look great with skinny jeans, and I think I may also get the clog style for wearing all day long around my house.)
Their Clever App on Facebook
For some fun in spreading the news about their new crocs tone™ line, the folks at Crocs created a fun “Change the Tone” Crocs Facebook application. The app takes negative news headlines and put a positive spin on them.
I love seeing companies try out unique promotional ideas on social media sites like Facebook. Bravo Crocs!
See Them In Action
Check out this video, it shows the styles and explains how they work…

Well, when I clicked through your link that part of the Croc FB page was blank, even after I “like”d it. Darn it all. But here’s my take on the headline “Town Cancels Winter Carnival due to too much snow” that was mentioned in an earlier comment here… “Town Boasts Highest Snowflake Attendance Ever at Winter Carnival” 🙂
New headline: Wisconsin woman gets hugs for doing house work

Headline: Wild Flocks of Bloggers Mob Downtown Coffee Shop

I took the headline “Town cancels Winter Carnival because of too much snow”
and twisted it to
My headline “Town cancels winter, fires ground hog because of too much snow”
and tweeted it http://twitter.com/skeetersden/statuses/44759153176084480
