Viral Video Marketing
Most viral and entertaining videos on the Internet.
The term viral video refers to video clip content which gains widespread popularity through the process of Internet sharing, typically through email or IM messages, blogs and other media sharing websites. With nearly 70% of home Internet users now surfing using a broadband connection, online video viewing has exploded. Video sharing site YouTube has become a virtual overnight sensation and major search engines Google and Yahoo soon followed with their own video sharing sites. Like YouTube and Google Video, many of the video sharing sites allow visitors to paste videos into their own websites and blogs, effectively extending the reach of your video.
In a February 2006 article in the New York Times, Julie Supan, YouTube’s marketing director said the site had more than 10 million videos viewed daily. “We’re streaming 115 videos a second,” she said, “6,944 per minute.”
And people aren’t just watching video online, either. They’re taking it with them by downloading video clips to their handheld devices like the video iPod and Sony’s handheld video game console, the PlayStation Portable. That allows them to share your video with others, extending your message even further…offline. This habit will only grow as more and more cell phones have the ability to play and/or stream video.
