Facebook employees painted a giant 42 foot giant QR code on the Facebook Office roof so that it is visible from space, appears on Google maps and can be scanned by QR code readers to visit target facebook sites on mobile smartphones. QR codes are getting popular and everyday people are finding new unique ways to get visitors to their site.
Facebook QR code

It was part of the “Space Hackathon” called by Mark Zuckerberg at the new Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park. As Facebook staff eagerly climbed on the roof and painted the QR code, they chose a short url fbco.de so that the QR code could be made simpler and easily scannable even is smaller sizes when viewable on maps!
Spend a little time and see if you can spot it on this aerial map?

Kind of reminds me of similar attempts to create large billboards of Eva Longoria by Maxim and huge KFC logos!

Google+ Social network brought together 500+ Photographers who collaborated to publish “Plus One Collection“, a Photography Book. Google+ served as a strong medium to gather a targeted community with similar interests, and helped them share ideas (and photos) and decide to share their work with the world. A team of 11 photographers chose the final images.
It was interesting to see how easy it was to publish and print books using Blurb, a self book publishing platform, and that too for a few dollars only. I checked that Blurb allows you to preview first 15 pages of the ebook One Collection” easily as a promotional gesture.

You can buy the ebook for $5 only and get softcover for $65 and hardcover for $75. Moreover, they decided to donate all the book sale funds to Kiva, a non profit organization which helps people across the world with microloans by people like you and me, with as little as $25!
