I wonder if there’s a long-term goal for the site though? Only as a funny stunt for a few days, it’s brilliant. We’ll definitely start to see some inspired use of it with Twitterers all competing to get their next clever idea up there.

However after all that excitement has gone, will it find a niche of people twitting every-time they scoff a bag of skittles? Will people start to comment and try to hold votes on it about favourite colours? Will people just be plain rude, and find it funny to get swear words up on the site?

Either way, time will tell so well done Skittles.
