Pass It On

Pass It On      

             

  #Why this Kolaveri Di?  At last check, this phenom of YouTube has surpassed 12 million views in just two weeks.  A catchy song that mixes the sounds of reggae and Slumdog Millionaire’s #Jai Ho, that is sure to cross cultural boundaries and possibly become the next “Macarena”.   This song is simple and addicting.  The lyrics are included in the video.  The song is sung in English (yes, that’s a form of English) and Tamil, one of India’s classical languages.  I’m anxiously awaiting the dance steps.  #Kolaveri Di, which means murderous rage, is simply a perfect example of the viral nature of the internet where unknowns can be discovered, and the most popular performers of other countries become known to us sheltered Americans!  Enjoy.

 

There’s More Than One Way To Do Things

 

            After 10 years as a Mac user, I had to incorporate Windows 7into my daily computer use.  This is stressful to say the least, and I feel more like a Baby Boomer than ever before.  I reluctantly became a Mac user out of peer pressure only to discover that they were right.  I’ll keep you updated as to my learning curve.  The most notable issue is that Windows 7 is cluttered compared to Mac.  Now, not withstanding the fact that I am farsighted, I can’t seem to navigate my browser.  Arrrghh.  Don’t ask me how it compares to Windows XP because I have no clue.  I don’t like reading the manual.  Stay tuned.

More is More.....or is it?

 

More is More…..or is it?

 

 

Is more, more; or is less more?  Huh??  In the case of social media, it’s both.

While you want to have a presence in as many networks that are relevant to your business, you don’t want the content to seem “spammy”.  Carefully selecting the way you engage and publishing thought-provoking content is omnipotent.  So go ahead and feel free to join every network, just make sure that what you’re posting isn’t boring or drab, which can lead to dropped friends, fans or followers. 

 

Pass It On….Going Viral

 

“Like” and “share”.  What’s the tipping point of something going viral?  Sharing.  Content sharing is the key to virality.  So in this case, the more “shares” and “likes”, the more exposure. Viral marketing takes place in the form of video clips, blogs, games and now Facebook apps.  Your job as a brand or business is to get people who are heavily involved in social media to pass on your content.  Remember, the idea here is to translate these applications into dollars.
