The 'Game of Social Thrones' is an awesome spoof from Hootsuite, modeled after the epic opening of the popular TV show, acting as a clever advertisement for its services, which are designed to "unite your social kingdoms." Since mastering social media itself can be a game, there couldn't be a more brilliant and relevant reference to make, especially since the season 4 premiere of Game of Thrones has set the Internet abuzz after the first episode and the anticipation of the episodes to follow.
