It’s only Tuesday, but the buzz surrounding the Super Bowl ads is hitting fever pitch. Where to begin?

First, we’ve got more teasers and pre-releases. Mashable has a rundown of the most shared as of yesterday afternoon. But since then, we’ve already added a teaser from Hulu, starring Will Arnett (note the #mushymush hashtag) and the latest Acura ad, starring Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno. The hashtag for that one is #JerryNSX. Brands have learned that they have to take digital initiative to get the most bang for their many, many bucks if they want to get their own version of “The Force.”

Despite the annoying headline (“Pinterest: Where domestic divas hang out online’) this story uses a quote from the Pinterest website that says the site wasn’t meant to be just for the ladies.

“Our goal is to connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find interesting,” the quote says. “With millions of new pins added every week, Pinterest is connecting people all over the world based on shared tastes and interests.”

TheStreet.com goes a step further with its article, “Why More Men Should Join Pinterest.” Among the four reasons it gives are “product discovery” and “more engagement with strangers.”

Mashable recently outlined the “21 Must-Follow Pinterest Users” and among them are a few guys and a few accounts that have general interest, like one on gadgets.

Businesses may also start seeing the benefits of becoming involved. Monetate has published an infographic that shows the high level of sharing the site is generating and its growing importance to the retail industry (a point that’s also made here). That infographic is available after the jump.

To promote the new film Chronicle, marketing firm ThinkModo rigged up three “custom-made aircraft” and flew them around New York City landmarks (above).

Gothamist notes that there wasn’t a lot of talk about any flying objects around the Brooklyn Bridge or Statue of Liberty recently, kind of strange in this post-9/11 world. But there has been some media coverage featuring the clip. ThinkModo, which describes itself as a “viral marketing company,” was responsible for the Times Square billboard hacking to promote Limitless and the “iPad head girl” stunt to promote Cosmo for Guys.

LinkedIn

The social network has come a long way in recent months. In paperwork submitted for its IPO about a year ago, the company said it had plenty of members, but few visited regularly. Today, membership stands at about 135 million with lots of apps and other features.

“We believe that the ‘Apply with LinkedIn’ feature will be crucial in sustaining this growth in 2012 as well,” says Forbes. “If LinkedIn manages to tie up with more employers to adopt this feature, it may definitely see more candidates registering as members.”

And HubSpot says the site is great for lead generation.

“People join LinkedIn to showcase their career, work expertise, and find content and information to make their professional lives better. So businesses who target other businesses will naturally find a higher concentration of their target market on LinkedIn,” the blog reads.

Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of Pantone told the New York Times earlier this month that “the color of the year is not the hot fashion color, but an expression of a mood, an attitude, on the part of the consumers.”

From fascinators to cowboy hats, Kate Middleton — the Duchess of Cambridge and most-talked-about bride of 2011 — has worn headgear of every shape and size. Which is why she’s The Headwear Association’s “Hat Person of the Year.” Whoopee? That’s almost as great as being the Queen of England.

While we’re not sure the royals are planning to mark the occasion with castle festivities or some sort of Beefeater revelry, this is quite the publicity stunt for the obscure, century-old organization. The announcement has spawned much more coverage than the Headwear Association has had in a while, to judge by the news section of its website. But, this is the third year for the designation.

The Daily Beast gives the voting process the crooked eye, but The Daily Mail takes the honor much more seriously.

“She has raised the profile, not only of established names like Philip Treacy and Sylvia Fletcher of Lock & Co, but also little-known designers such as Rose Cory and Vivien Sheriff,” the paper writes.
