			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey there,<br />
Last night I was at the <a title="The Science Gallery Trinity College" href="http://www.sciencegallery.com/" target="_blank">Science Gallery</a> @ the first &#8220;<a title="Events at the science gallery" href="http://www.sciencegallery.com/events" target="_blank">Infectious</a>&#8221; night.<br />
2 fabulous speakers: <a title="Jonah Peretti from Buzzfeed" href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/jonah" target="_self">Jonah Peretti</a> and<a title="Ze frank viral marketing" href="http://www.zefrank.com/" target="_blank"> Ze Frank</a> covered viral media, their beginnings 9 years ago and the power of going viral.</p>
<p>All the attendees were encouraged to go today <strong>Saturday 18th @ 8PM</strong> to meet at the <a title="the stag's head pub" href="http://www.thestagshead.ie/" target="_blank">Stags Head Pub</a> in Dublin city centre and get as many people as possible to come as well.</p>
<p><strong>The mission</strong>: Turn up with a circle drawn on your hand. What comes after? Who knows&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>What is the purpose?</strong> To Experiment and see how viral this can go in 1 day and to get your acquaintances there! Spread the word!<br />
Here comes a quick video featuring <strong>Jonah </strong>covering:<strong> Why go viral?  What they do at buzzfeed.com?  What to do tomorrow Saturday 18th? <!--</b-->followed by a few highlights below.</strong></p>

<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Ok, so a few points I wanted to share:</p>
<ul>
<li> It’s not about<strong></strong><strong> WHO </strong>m<!--</b-->akes stuff go viral, but<strong></strong><strong></strong><strong> WHAT</strong> can you make popular, then seek for the vehicle.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong> </strong>While you can bear in mind <strong>the Tipping point of things</strong>, if you can <strong>get the message carriers</strong> (people)<strong> to increase in at least 101% </strong>each time the message changes vehicle, you most definitely will succeed (or something along those lines anyway).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong> </strong>If your product is boring then use<a title="Big seed marketing" href="http://kottke.org/07/05/bigseed-marketing-instead-of-relying-purely-on" target="_blank"><strong> </strong><strong>BIG SEED MARKETING</strong></a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong></strong><strong> </strong>If you are very challenged use the <strong></strong><strong></strong><strong>MULLET strategy</strong> (i.e Like he Huffington Post may look standard   in the very front but definitely different when you surf it).<!--</li--></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong></strong><strong> </strong><strong>Find or produce fanatics.</strong> They spend time online and will forward whatever crazy idea you come up with (it has to be cool though).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> A bit shocking, but <strong></strong><strong>all social networkers, Twitterers, etc, share some sort of histrionic personality disorder (ego-something). </strong>Give them something they can engage with but most importantly assimilate and feel identified, and you will get them to spread the message.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong></strong><strong> </strong>If you can <strong></strong><strong>produce a c</strong><strong>oncept that turns self-perpetuating </strong>then you will be king or queen.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong></strong><strong> </strong>At the end of the day<strong></strong><strong> it is all about </strong><strong>people’s emotions and social resonance<!--</b-->. </strong>Always think<strong></strong><strong></strong><strong> how would </strong><strong>YOU </strong>react to whatever you are about to release (if you don’t consider yourself common enough just ask your neighbour).<!--</li--></li>
</ul>
