Viral Videos, even Coke-a-Cola is catching the vision
Coke-a-Cola recently jumped into the ad world of viral videos. There are two men; one of them looks like he is in his 30’s, the other is older, who are taking Mento’s candies and putting them in Diet Coke bottles. I guess there is a chemical reaction that makes the coke bubble and even explode. Click here to see the video. It reminds me of the paper miche volcanoes I made a as a kid. I would put vinegar, red with food coloring, and baking soda into the manmade mountain and watch as it erupted. I think this Diet Coke and Mentos idea will be one of my next date activities, we can have a Diet Coke war.
The fact that Google just purchased YooTube for a whopping $1.65 billion dollars tells me that this viral video market still had a lot of room to grow. Paul Allen explained in class that right now GooTube and others are not crowded, but in a year they will be. Right now is the time to get in on this market. If I can convince the others at FamilyLearn to use the recourses to do it, I would really like to experiment with some different cheap viral videos. Daniel would be perfect for the Job. The hard part is going to be making iMemoryBook funny.
