Before I joined the advertising world, the only viral I knew was the fever kind.
Never did I imagine it would be something my entire life would revolve around.
Viral:
"Any kind of digital advertising tool that can be forwarded to multiple users due to its engaging and entertaining content."
Or, according to my senior copywriter, a viral is something you work your ass on for months and finally does not get released. Lolz!
Here is a cool viral forwarded by my friend Jimbo the dimbo (ps. No, a dimbo is not a cross between a dumbo and a bimbo. And no I am not passing on subliminal messages to you. No, there aint no polar bears in Antarctica.)

It’s a promo of the recently released (in US) animation called Igor with the voices of John Cusack and Jay Leno!
There’s a small interesting game in the Igor microsite, so in true Advertising sense I was analyzing the specification, feasibility, implementation and execution of the promotion of that online standalone viral… or in layman’s term – I was simply wasting a few minutes of my office-hours.
And hey, I high scored!!!
Just a little bit funny though, that the exact score I got was 6:66!
I knew it! There was always something wrong about me since I was a kid. The way I skinned the neighbor’s cat or pushed my nanny down the flights of stairs always seemed weird because the other friends I knew back then never used to do those kinda stuff.They used to tell me their folks didn’t allow them to do that, but as for me, I just simply obeyed the strange voices in my head
And then when I was in 9th standard, those voices told me to buy the latest album of Backstreet Boys and that was when I stopped listening to those horrible voices, for good.
So there you have it. Me a 666.
In other online related news I came across today, my good friends from samaw.com mentioned that there was a google pagerank update recently and zawlbuk.net at PR 5 is currently the highest among all Zo-centric sites according to samaw.com.
dipr.mizoram.gov.in is also currently at PR 5, but I read somewhere that government (official) sites are given higher priority for SEO or something like that so I guess it does not count.
hmar.net and delhithurawn.net are currently down. Can anybody explain?
( Lal, I told you not to fiddle around with the codes while drinking
)My blog is currently a PR 4.
