Incorporating Social Media

As a habitual user of the internet, I have noticed a change over the past years when it comes to including social media in websites.  A few years back, it was uncommon to see a company’s facebook or twitter page linked to its website but nowadays it has become extremely common. 
I have visited all of the sites listed for this class and none of them incorporate social media in any more than what has become the standard fashion.  They all have a link to Facebook to “like” their product and a link to their Twitter account to follow their “tweets.”  Nothing out of the ordinary, and certainly no attention grabbing antics like Skittles. 
I did notice on the Tide website that they had a feed of user comments on their front page, however I am uncertain where this feed is pulling from.  If it were coming from Tide followers Twitter accounts, this would be an interesting incorporation of social media.
