week 7 GDS

Topics: Meme, netiquette, Viral campaigns and flash mobs.


Viral campaigns is a type of marketing that tries to get others to pass along a message that helps with the marketing of the company doing the viral campaign. This increases the brand awareness as well and it can be done online and offline. It can be done through a text message, flash game, video clip, ebooks, or brandable software. This is creating viral messages that will appeal to people who have high social networking potential and then will most likely be passed along from those people.

A flash mob is a large group of people who make a scene in a public place and it seems like they do it for no reason. But the real purpose may be protests, commercial advertisement, or publicity stunts. They do acts that make other people start to wonder whats going on around them and it seems to be entertaining.

There are forum, blogs, chat sites etc and they have rules to follow like respecting others online or you will get blocked from a certain site. They use terms like flaming and trolling which are usually looked down upon in the internet world.
