So one of our vendors recently sent the crew at North Star a few boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. (BTW- Brilliant idea, if anyone else wants to send cookies, please go right ahead, just make sure you address them directly to me…) As I was sampling a few Tagalongs and Samoas I realized - in horror - that I hadn’t had any of my favorite kind yet - the iconic Shortbreads! Since we didn’t seem to get a box of those (or someone maybe stole them!) I decided to check online to see if the Girl Scouts had a website showing where I could find their next sale.

Let’s just say I was very impressed with how plugged in, or rather, hip to the social media scene those Girl Scouts have become! Kids… just so high-tech these days!

As you can see, the site is very clean, easy to use and yet colorful/fun. What really impressed me is how they incorporated their social media sites along the top navigation. Check out the links to their MySpace page, Flickr site and Facebook application! Talk about integrated into Web 2.0!

Way to go Girl Scouts! I wonder if there is a Web 2.0 badge they can earn for this?

PS - Unfortunately, I do have sad news to report. After entering my zip code on the site, I found out that cookie sales in my area have ended!!! Please join me in a moment of silence……… Thank you.
