Viral Marketing and Sneezers

Oh man, Viral Marketing.

The Holy Grail of marketign efforts.

Simply post something funny, intriguing, about 9/11, stupid, dangerous or passionate... and the world beats a path to your door.

At least that's what they told me.

In fact, viral marketing events happen all the time.
I hear about them on NPR.
See them on the TV.
Read them in my email.

Now they find me via Google Alerts (a very cool feature, by the way).

Here's a recent post that was originally a viral email. Marc at Emerson Direct  repurposed it as a blog post. And now I'm doing my part as a sneezer (see Seth Godin for that definition).

I stole one image for your edification. Enjoy the rest and get back with me on your favorite Viral media. I know you've got one.

best,
Mark Alan Effinger

P.S. Hey Marc, you forgot to optimize the image for Universal Search. No problem, I handled it...;-)

And to think that I actually blogged about Universal Search! I do dig that white jumpsuit though...
