If you have what it takes to be part of the Playboy Family… Show it now at the YouTube Playboy Channel.
See the video message of Playmate Editor Holly Madison below, send in your 2 minute video and you might become the 55th Playboy Anniversary Playmate.
The best contestants will be invited to Los Angeles to get a fashion shoot, take the playmate test and get a tour through Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion.
Playboy has struck a sponsored deal with YouTube, to run its 55th Anniversary Playmate Search. I feel that Playboy has already embraced mobile and social media in a smart way.
Shoot it. Upload. And win. That’s how MTV invites consumers to be part of the 2008 MTV Movie Awards-Movie Spoof Contest. A great viral idea by MTV.
Are you resourceful enough to make a hysterical movie spoof with absolutely no budget? If you are, you could find yourself standing onstage June 1 at the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles, receiving a Golden Popcorn statuette for Best Movie Spoof.
Seven finalists will win a trip to attend the big show and take home a sweet little Flip Video camcorder. But only the amateur auteur whose spoof collects the most votes on mtv.com will walk away with the MTV Movie Awards Golden Popcorn trophy!
Your masterpiece viral video must be less than three minutes in length and cannot contain any copyrighted music or video that you did not create yourself. Your spoof must be submitted via one of the MTV partner sites: Break, Buzznet, Daily Motion, Funny Or Die, Heavy, MySpace or Photobucket by May 11 2008.
Vegas Hard Rock Hotel launched its viral game campaign last week, to promote its weekend pool party Rehab. The micro site was designed by Jay Schwartz of IdeaWork.
The Vegas Hard Rock Hotel micro site allows users to play a viral game involving girl-on-girl fights in the pool where players can advance to levels ranging from cell phone throwing supermodel to axe murder.
[REC], from what I gather, is a Spanish Cloverfield wannabe. The scenes are shot in a deliberate amateurishness way to heighten the suspense and they are using the internet as their main form of promotion.
Edit: Thanks to Ian in the comments I now know Cloverfield was actually shot after [REC], which would make Cloverfield the wannabe!
Viral Friday is the weekly viral video chart of ViralBlog, showing the 10 most popular viral videos, commercials or user-generated videos, carefully selected and ranked by popularity, viral impact & spread.
This weeks Viral Friday #1 position goes to Love China. Chinese internet users en masse added “Love China” or “(L) China” to their MSN chat names as a patriotic gesture. The runner up spot is for Britain’s Got Talent: Michael Jackson. Opera singer Paul Potts became an internet meme thanks to Britain’s Got Talent and YouTube, will Michael Jackson imitator Suleman Mirza follow in his footsteps? Shortsbus.com completes this week’s top 3 with Trapped in an Elevator with Diarrhea. A funny parody to last week’s #1 position “Trapped in an Elevator for 41 Hours”.
Do you want to see this week’s list from 1 to 10? Go on then, and have a look! We’d like to hear your opinion about the virals. Have fun!
