Got Viral?
Lots of advertising agencies like to throw around the term viral as if they actually understood what it meant. Many believe it’s just what happens when you put something on the internet. Very few understand that it takes a lot of work both to make an interesting website, and then to know how to advertise it. Here’s a hint: Google doesn’t do it for you.
I am very happy to say that this very website has a much higher amount of traffic than any “viral” campaigns I’ve been associated with (only as a designer).
Toot!
(Yes that was my horn)
Of course, none of this could happen without my excellent fans. Someday we’ll have to have a party. First I need to build a forum.

Cool. I’ll bring the grape Kool-Aid!

A forum would be delightful, though I’m not sure how active it (read “I”) would be.

I’m a forum junkie! I think it is a great idea.

Kool-Aid and Vegan Cupcakes, the breakfast of champions. I do wonder how active a forum would be, and shall probably be creating one at the end of the year. If it proves to be active it could also be a huge money pit, but darn would it be worth it.

I’m not much of a forum-goer myself, but parties are fun.
Re: viral ads, did anyone get the voicemail from Samual L. Jackson about Snakes on a Plane? SO contagious. I had to send it to like.. 20 people because it was damn hilarious.
