Forget About Viral. Just Make It Great!

By Debbie • Jul 9th, 2009 • Category: 26th Story, Big Ideas, Entertainment

I have a bee in my bonnet about the chronic use of the word “viral.”

“Let’s make a viral video,” I keep hearing. To me, it feels like saying “Let’s publish a bestselling book” or “I’m going to be popular.”

I keep wanting to shout from the rooftops “just make it GREAT!”

Olympus has done just that with this great video.

    Thanks for sharing, Debbie. I too dislike how frequently "viral" is tossed around. Without good content to begin with, "viral" does nothing.
