Well, I have a new subject I am interested in. Viral Marketing. It is basically trying to understand how the videos, sites, articles and themes that get insanely popular - do so, and then how to replicate that. It is definitely more art than science (like mass mail), but if you get it right the results are unreal. I think understanding the key to the principles or values of how these things get so popular say a lot about our mood and responses as an online society, and that very much interests me!
So, what do you think makes things popular. Obviously short funny/painful videos from youtube are super popular, but don’t really make a point. What else have you seen or what do you think about viral marketing?
