The new interactive WaterTank game, launched on Facebook, encourages users to ‘unlock’ clean water by taking up various challenges ranging from tweeting to answering related questions. The key element of the interactive project is Levi’s Water<Less jeans, a collection of denim made by using less water during the finishing process, which was launched in January 2011 and is helping to save millions of liters of water.

Pepsi is celebrating up-and-coming artists by launching a new system that rates their popularity based on social media buzz around them.

The new system is very similar to the MTV Music Meter launched in mid-December 2010, which also builds a chart of the most popular emerging performers based on real-time discussions about them in the digital world.
