Asking if you've seen the "Christian the Lion" YouTube hit is like asking if you've ever been to the Internet. By now, everyone has seen the story of a lion, purchased in a London department store and raised by humans, who greets them after a year in the wild by jumping on them with enthusiastic hugs. Just like he's a person! (8 million views.) Now negotiations for it to be turned into a movie are ...

I hate that I am so emo this morning that I had to watch this video YET AGAIN. It always renews my confidence in humanity and the world and the way things (should) work, though, so I don't suppose I mind that I am potentially re-re-re-sharing this.

F*cking Awesome! Διάβάζω στο commercial-archive ότι η Diageo αρνείται οποιαδήποτε σχέση με τη συγκεκριμένη διαφήμιση με την παρακάτω δήλωση που δε χωράει παρερμηνείες: “We made this clear in a statement on the video’s site as soon as it was drawn to our attention, the producer of the video also made it clear that the material was not associated with Guinness, and the original video has now been removed from YouTube.” παροτρύνοντας μας να ρίξουμε μια ...

I have written in the past about how people include “viral” in their marketing plan but are missing the point of what’s really happening. Your site can be growing but not viral! Shocked? How can this be. Not Viral Model link to photo 10 people join your site * 10 invites sent per person sent * 10% of those people convert to new users = 10 new users to the site 10 new users / ...

Šių viral negamino ir neužsakinėjo telekomunikacijų bendrovės. Tiesiog tai kasdienybės perliukai, neaišku kaip pakliuvę į internetą ir pradėję naują gyvenimą. Be cenzūros. Detalus nagrinėjimas vertas scenos Best Internet kongrese. Nežinau, kaip jūs, bet aš tiesiog dar labiau gerbiu operatores dirbančias prie telefono.

And, what good would a search for best practices in social media be if the search weren’t social itself - so Mitch is asking other bloggers to contribute.

We've already seen it many times, and it will happen many, many more times in the future. The sweep of the Internet combined with the power of Social Media is amplifying brand missteps and furnishing mass media-like reach to consumers. Situations that a couple years ago would have been small and contained today are making an impression upon thousands and even millions of customers, prospects, and investors.Here's a recent example: A wine critic perpetrated a ...

The first look at Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane's big-budget web series, Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy is now live on the web. The short, 45-second trailer (embedded) shows off the animation style (similar to Family Guy) and delivers a sampling of what's to come. So far, the variety show resembles a hybrid of the animated version of Gary Larson's non-sequitur toons The Far Side and the random subplots from Family Guy -- like baby Brit ...

Most 'viral' ads are made on a shoestring budget on purpose. Many are cheap and nasty and in most cases they don't really do much for the brand they're trying to promote, but rather supply a mildly entertaining video clip for people to enjoy and forget. But this viral ad for the new Samsung Omnia i900 is more on the money. A great production and a welcomed twist in the usual Gizmodo-type gadget unboxing video. ...

I've suggested that organizations need to avoid the quest for a single broad "Social Media Strategy." What most enterprises need isn't one cohesive "Big S" Strategy for Social Media but instead dozens of tiny "Little S" social media strategies. Social Media is too diverse and the needs of different departments and business units are too distinct to make a single, overarching Strategy meaningful.The key for large enterprises to effectively use Social Media isn't to control ...

Cory Archangel’s Blue Tube (video below) is probably the first of these works about YouTube employing a play on words and layering of video with YouTube’s logo.
