There's no way to describe what it's like to receive an email of a video featuring you on what appears to be a totally legit news clip. First thought: I didn't know we had a CNN i-reporter in the neighborhood.
MoveOn.org has set up a site where you can send a "CNNBC" news clip to a friend about your friend's failure to vote next Tuesday - resulting in Barak Obama's one-vote loss to John McCain.
Not only is it attention-grabbing, slick and clever, it's a top-drawer demonstration of how effective social media can be. Whether you're rooting for Obama or McCain, you'll be just amazed. It's positively brilliant.
What makes it interesting from a "business use of web 2.0" perspective:
- It's too intriguing to delete without at least giving it a look.
- It's so well done, you actually want to send it on.
- It's important to make it very easy for the viewer to e-mail it to lots of others.
Personally, I'd rethink the bleeped comments.
