Stock photo website Shutterstock has followed the steps of other brilliant marketing campaigns that have used their products in advertisements to appeal to the geek crowd.
Taking advantage of today’s popularity of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice novels — as well as the Game of Thrones television show! — they have taken six of the Great Houses of Westeros, took into account their strengths and cultures, and transformed them into modern corporations with their own distinct brandings.

The crowd that visits is friendly, and perhaps the best part is that it’s a lot closer to our house than my previous favorite playground. Suffice it to say, we’ve been there a lot lately. 🙂
If this doesn't make your geek senses quiver with joy, I don't know what will. Created by Etckt, this periodic chart includes all characters from Episodes VI, V, and VI.

Be sure to check out Etckt to read more about how the chart was developed! Via Neatorama. ETA, 05.25.2013: Etckt has updated its site with a new periodic table — this time featuring Episodes I, II, and III! (And just like the prequels, this table has more special effects. ;-) ) Check it out below, and head on over to Etckt for the details! ...
