Target + Facebook = Glorious

Today, I discovered that my other true love, Facebook, has a group sponsored by Target. (I doubt that link will work if you're not a Facebook member. So, sign up for Facebook!) Originally enough, it's called "Target."

Lame name aside, the group offers plenty of cool things to its 16, 731 members. It provides information about exclusive clothing lines and music offered only at Target. It includes a horoscope application - you enter your birth year, it tells you a little blurb about yourself, and it recommends a few products that might fit your personality. The discussion board houses conversations about Target-related topics, some specific to Target employees (like, "What is your favorite place to zone?").

The most exciting part of all: Each week, Target draws the name of one of its Facebook group members to win a $250 Target gift card. As the most recent winner so eloquently puts it, "That's a lot of flip flops."
