This is previous incidents by Indy people (and not you guys) that I'm referring to and I believe is responsible for the complex that is perceived. I don't think/know of any issue people have had with this contest. In the context of this contest NWI love was given to Woodson so I can't see why anything would be expected back. I didn't think the previous comment (Chris right?) was directed at the contest but more the greater NWI/Indy whatever (can't think of what it should even be called :) ), though I might have been wrong and sorry if I misunderstood.

Is that the case? When you say “then not getting that reciprocated by the receiving party” surely you’re not referring to our response to NWI’s involvement with the contest. Is that the case?

More of a one way street of love. Though something like this does help to show that NWI does have strengths that would be a big loss for those who take it for granted. Luckily I'm in the "NWI is better off working with Chicago peeps" party so it's all good. :) I don’t think it’s a complex, I think it stemmed more from people in NWI being willing to help spread word for people in Indy and then not getting that reciprocated by the receiving party.

We Agree. by Rocky Walls http://12starsmedia.com/blog/screw-viral-videos-we-agree/comment-page-1#comment-61 Rocky Walls Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:20:56 +0000 http://12starsmedia.com/?p=847#comment-61 Thanks for the comment Richard. Good perspective on the Old Spice campaign. Regarding the block quotes, I don't use block quotes unless the quote takes up five lines or more (I believe that's standard practice - <a href="http://www.englishdiscourse.org/block.quotes.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.englishdiscourse.org/block.quotes.htm</a>). I always welcome and appreciate feedback about both content and writing style. Thanks again! Thanks for the comment Richard. Good perspective on the Old Spice campaign.

One thing I take issue with with the original post is calling the Old Spice thing a success. While there was initially numbers put out to show that it increased sales, it later came out that rival brands had bigger increases without anything like this and that this was a heavy usage time for deodorant and lots of coupons were also out there. When Internet Dollars ( http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/165195/ ) have an actual exchange rate then maybe this will prove to have actually been worth the money but from the looks of it, while it may give brand recognition I think in the end if that doesn't turn into real dollars it doesn't really matter. Think about all the cool commercials you remember as a child of products that no longer exist. Also on personal note, might want to use <blockquote> around some of the larger quotes and change up the styling slightly because it was really hard to tell what was from the article and what was your own. There were big chunks of both and I had a hard time following it in the current format. But that could just be me looking at it. :) I agree 100% that Viral should never be an initial goal and only a happy occurrence if it does happen.
