AdAge’s Viral Video Tracking
by Demosthenes on Jul.06, 2009, under Internet
Advertising Age video talks about the powers of online viral video tracking systems to help reveal the top contenders when it comes to viral video exposure.
Yes, but what about viral images, emails and even videos that are sent via email (rather than YouTube or Daily Motion links)? This video does nothing to address where we believe MOST viral action takes place (in the inbox).
Regardless, enjoy.
Iran’s “Neda”, an Internet Icon
by Demosthenes on Jun.21, 2009, under Current Affairs
Millions have been moved by the so-called Neda video that went viral shortly after it was uploaded onto the internet, Saturday. People around the world have been moved by the images coming out of Iran that show the suppressive violence being used against the reformist protesters and the seemingly peaceful demonstrations in which they are involved.
In this video, Neda Agha Soltan is seen lying on the ground after being shot in the chest. Her music teacher and bystanders rush to help her as blood gushes from her mouth and nose. Within moments, she is dead.

Welcome to V1R4L
by Demosthenes on Mar.30, 2009, under v1r4l.com
I’m going to level with you: this site exists entirely because we want to make money off the ads. Better you know that now, then find out later and get upset. But not all ad-sponsored sites are without merit and V1R4L aims to fall into the select category of those that provide useful purpose while still collecting clicks and impressions. This is why we encourage your comments (provided you pass the reCaptcha, of course) and post recommendations.
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.
