V1R4L is a tumblr to drive traffic to viral and guerrilla marketing initiatives, web trends, interesting fads and crazes and general internet tom foolery. In fact, our only rule for posts is that they have to be interesting. The categories to the right enable us to shelve posts by interest, but you certainly don’t have to submit ideas that fit neatly into one of those groups. If it’s interesting, we want to hear about it.
