The Friday Breakthrough: Pizza Hut Keeps Its Customers 'Appy

The Friday Breakthrough is a weekly roundup of some of the internet's best marketing and social media articles for a less-than-intense day at the office.

Pizza Hut recently announced that more than $1-million in sales have been completed using its iPhone application. A lesson to all fast food chains out there: The easier food is to order, the more of it people will buy.

Should Canada's H1N1 ads be more frightening? Let us know! Leave a comment or send us a tweet @marketingottawa.
