<\/a>Need another reason to spend time on Facebook? Or, just getting tired of Mafia Wars<\/a>, Kidnap!<\/a>, or even Willy’s Sweet Shop<\/a>?<\/strong> Today, Timberland<\/a> and changents<\/a> officially launch yet another excuse for playing on FB rather than getting your work done: Earthkeepers Hero: Mission Possible<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’ve played around with the app for a couple of days now, and, yes, I see how it could get addictive. Playing off the spy thriller motif, you’re presented with “missions” that revolve around an action\/activism scenario, and give you a green trivia question to answer. There’s a definite social media aspect to it: you can recruit “backers” from your Facebook friends (which you’ll need for higher-level missions), and even get clues from real Timberland Earthkeeper<\/a> Heroes such as Christopher Swain, Cate Trotter, Sami Nerenberg, and Nate Bastien.<\/p>\n [social_buttons]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The game is fun, visually appealing (not always a strong suit with FB apps), and provides some great food for thought on real-world actions you could take to lighten your own footprint, and spread the word. Try it out… and feel free to add me as a backer<\/a>…<\/p>\n
