    Pretty neat video. Like the intention behind it. At first I was going to say it needs more humor, but the subject is pretty serious and the humor would be out of place.

    1) Post new articles on Digg.com

    2) Viral-market in social sites such as Myspace and Facebook

    3) Spread word of mouth advertising to as many people and communities as you can

    4) Update content on your website every day and submit the new content and updates to Digg.com and other sites (new only, no duplicates)

    5) Have all your friends help you repeat the previous steps.

    Thanks Zaccaria. We have open accounts on youtube, twitter, myspace, facebook as you can see on my initial post. I will check on creating new content and submitting it to social net. I have a few friends helping me on the strategy also. Is there any tool, or strategies I can apply on youtube?

    The chances of someone making a viral video are more then 1:1,000,000.

    People like 4 things - pets, babies, stuff that makes them laugh and sex. Videos that focus on those 4 things are more likely to go viral.

    The thing is, with a "viral video" you dont have to do anything. The video is so good that people will send it to others. If you are having to promote a video, then its not really a viral video.

    Pretty neat video, I thought it was offensive at first, but not at all at the end.
    I don't know if he should be man of the year... (referring to the poll)

    Have you tried commenting on other viewers pages? Just like any other social medium like Twitter or Facebook, the more friends or fans you have, the more likely your content is to go viral. Good luck!

    Making something viral is a bit of an art, you must release this video on the web at a specific time through as many outlets as possible, if you use twitter it can be very handy in making something viral.

    Great call on Twitter - definitely the best tool right now.

    The trick to viral video is not the video - it's the viral part. You dont need to do all of this posting and at a specific time. The link in my sig will explain it better - but in short, you can make people do all the hardwork for you and make it go viral very very easily.
