Viral marketing and the role of support from digital infrastructures.

Here are some quick thoughts on how the digital infrastructures are enabling people to share and spread content in different ways.
If you are on facebook, you have to be part of a network you have to be connected. If you don’t have a profile you don’t have access, and if you have a profile by [...]

Global Public Relations

As I am looking very much forward to attending  this course (PhD Course on Global Public Relations), I have written a short essay on my project and the intersection between my empirical data and the aims of the course. For the interested readers this is what came out:

Viral advertising vs viral marketing

A guy asked my “Why marketing?”, as we were talking about viral marketing. “Why not advertising?” A very good question indeed…
I found an explanation of the two as follows:
Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal announcement of a persuasive message by an identified sponsor; the non-personal presentation or promotion by a firm of its products to its [...]

However, this challenges my definition of viral marketing.
Where should I put these spoof adds? Will I always be able to tell the difference between adds and spoof adds?

Unrelated!

Speaking of two things that both have my interest (Second Life and commercials on the internet), where is the relevance between the (somewhat cool) video, and the product for which it advertises?
I am wondering who would be passing this around, as well as their motivations for doing so?
I wonder if people, 30 days after having [...]
