Dear reader
Here's the second ViralBlog Newsletter of 2009. A new shot of viral ideas, social media trends and inspiration. We hope you enjoy the content...
Community Marketing
In the field of community marketing we check why Seth Godin is angry and what is being said by Netlog about Brand Ambassadors.
Guerrilla Marketing
A great buzz campaign: the orange puppets from Vattenfall fight for our climate and a cool Crime Medicin spoof made in Sweden.
Mobile Marketing
Some outstanding mobile ideas: a mobile soap to teach teens condom usage, Youfone sponsors Dutch Soccer Jupiler League and LG reveals it’s Arena at the World Mobile Congress.
Old Skool
Old virals that keep spreading: remember the eBay spoof song by Weird Al Yankovic.
Online Marketing
Do you share our opinion when we explain the future of online
advertising?
Online Video
Oprah and Obama have YouTube channels. Who’s next? Pope Benedictus XVI. How about YouTube TV via your PS3 or Wii? Or will Asia be The future lab of media consumption?
Social Media
This category exploded again. See how Facebook added 40+ Million users, learn how Monty Python increased DVD sales with 23.000% with YouTube, see the Best job in the world viral from our Aussie friends, see the SocialMedia8 box office hit The Full Barack Obama strategy, New social travel match engine Gekko shows it’s G Spot, the hilarious LaComunidad animation Advertising- the lipstick on a pig, Why Iran
Twitter is the world’s fastest news source and why Ryanair definitely needs a social media marketing agency.
User Created
No extravagant news last month, so a wake-up call to our spotters?
Viral Cases
A viral idea how to kill with me?
Viral Commercials
Again lots of great viral commercials: Durex get it on, T-Mobile Life’s for sharing, the historic video the evolution of online messages, Loewe’s extremely realistic sound, Bavaria spoofs Heineken’s Walk In Fridge and Cornetto’s delicious Ice Cream Fight.
Viral Friday
Enjoy 10 new Viral Fridays, the popular format that is embraced by so many of our readers.
Viral Games
No great new viral games, so we challenge our spotters to ‘Twit Around’.
Widgets & Social Apps
Stand-up comedy in the first Dutch YouTube annotation for Sonnema, how the cute BuddyPoke wins the hearts of the social web and the Sony VAIO City Style Challenge widgets.
