ViralBlog Newsletter | 2nd year | 12th edition | © 2010 ViralBlog

Dear reader,
In front of you is the new ViralBlog newsletter. Didn’t have time to read every entry from last month? Don’t worry, we have gathered the best of ViralBlog in December for you to enjoy. Happy reading!

Social Media
Social networks generate millions of eyeballs but are struggling to generate revenue. Maybe Barcelona based start-up Linqia launched this month can help change this with its social advertising platform aimed at monetizing social groups across social networks.
Read more about it in last month’s item.

ViralTracker (Advertorial)

Mobile & iPhone
Wine, dine, shop and hop till you drop. iPhone users are now able to visit their favorite spots, based on what they and their friends like with this new Whatser 1.0 app. Of course it is connected to the “social network”, but there is much more which makes it a nifty add-on.

On the other side at camp ‘Android’, we can see something new as well. Samsung is throwing in a new Smartphone, named the Galaxy Apollo. This new phone is targeted at younger people and aims at their connected lifestyles.

Sports & Sponsoring
The final word has arrived! The 2018 World Cup Soccer will be held in Russia. For those who are unhappy with this outcome., here is a little aid! From now on YOU compose Blatter’s announcements!

Online Marketing
Facebook is turning into the place where everything is possible. You can juggle with Maradona. You can race against Hamilton and since a couple of days you can start your own hair model agency. Hair product got2b is inviting their customers to join them in a new competition in which they become either a headhunter or model.

Viral & Social Cases
The French telecom company Bouygues Telecom’s has launched a compelling campaign which is the kick-off for their Facebook page. The campaign contains a cool Facebook app which makes it possible to take your Facebook history offline into a book.

Online Video
The content on the internet keeps on transforming itself and becomes more interesting and even 360. It’s not just the video, it might as well be the start of a very interesting and engaging treasure hunt campaign. But they all have one thing in common, they influence you.

Community marketing
Community marketing sounds so easy but the amount of channels is growing every day, so which social media channel is the best? And once you have entered the channel how can you control and improve the buzz around your brand? Luckily there are many interesting articles about it.
