I think it's very brave of Skittles to use their brand to show what everyone else is saying about their product as thats essentially what the social media sites are. Twitter and Facebook are unmodulated and as a result Skittles have no control over any of the content that is displayed.
I didn't realise another company had already done this type of website 'design', if thats what one would call it. I doubt this is where website design is heading, as already mentioned it wouldn't work for a lot of corporate websites. Businesses don't want their clients to potentially be directed to negative comments about their business. I've noticed that the Twitter feed for Skittles has been abused as a result, with people using the word 'Skittles' in their tweets just to show on that page. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
