			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theviralmarketingblog.com%2F2010%2F06%2Fare-the-iphone-4-videos-viral%2F"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theviralmarketingblog.com%2F2010%2F06%2Fare-the-iphone-4-videos-viral%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p>Well after the introduction of the iPhone 4 on Monday, it would be expected that there&#8217;d be a new video showcasing the new iPhone, and it&#8217;d be expected that it would go viral.</p>
<p>And while it doesn&#8217;t show up on the top 20 most shared videos in the past 24 hours, it does have 590.000 views so far, in just 2 days!</p>
<p>They are always very carefull in doing these videos, making sure the viewer wants one when they finish seeing it, and this video is (again) no exception.</p>
<p>Check it out (and don&#8217;t miss the extra video after it):</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FHngLJ0RlNg&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FHngLJ0RlNg&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><span id="more-2420"></span></p>
<p>This video showcases only the Facetime video calling feature of the new iPhone, and got only 32.000 views so far. It&#8217;s a video that goes for the emotions and really well made:</p>
<p><object width="480" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R1wbQdVezio&#038;hl=pt_PT&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R1wbQdVezio&#038;hl=pt_PT&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="300"></embed></object></p>
<p>If the videos are or are not viral, it doesn&#8217;t really matter at this point: it was seen by a lot of people, on monday at one point more than half of Twitter&#8217;s trending topics were related to Apple and the new iPhone, and hundreds of blog posts and news pieces were dedicated to it, free of charge.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s the familiar Simpsons couch gag, this time involving an iPhone (there&#8217;s an app for that!).</p>
<p>Over the time, the Simpsons have had bits from the show gone <a href="http://www.theviralmarketingblog.com/2009/02/the-simpsons/">viral</a>: there can be debate whether they remain good, but after all these seasons they still remain to produce great pieces like this one, and they still have a huge legion of fans who support them. They have been around for more than 20 years, spanned more than one generation of people, and the ammount of merchandising they have is crazy.</p>
<p>In the last episode airead, this was what the couch gag was the following:</p>
<p><span id="more-1812"></span></p>
<p><object id="v" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="321" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="align" value="middle" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="src" value="http://wooshii.com/vid/1984_1265319907.flv/480/321/1984/887/0" /><param name="name" value="v" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="false" /><embed id="v" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="321" src="http://wooshii.com/vid/1984_1265319907.flv/480/321/1984/887/0" name="v" bgcolor="#000000" quality="high" allowfullscreen="false" allowscriptaccess="always" align="middle"></embed></object><br />
<a style="display: block; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 480px; font-size: 9px; background: #000000; color: #555555; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;" href="http://wooshii.com">Viral Marketing powered by Wooshii.com</a></p>
<p>It got close to 300.000 views in 2 days, the number is definetively higher since there are several sources of the video out there.</p>
<p>Another couch gag gone viral was one that depicted Homer&#8217;s evolution, and had close to 9 million views over the course of a year and a half:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/faRlFsYmkeY&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/faRlFsYmkeY&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>And with +17 million views the Simpsons had a real-life intro, made by a british TV channel. It was removed from Youtube some time ago, but is on other sources, so check it out if you didn&#8217;t already:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="345" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="name" value="Metacafe_739220" /><param name="src" value="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/739220/real_life_simpsons_intro_very_good.swf" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="345" src="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/739220/real_life_simpsons_intro_very_good.swf" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" name="Metacafe_739220"></embed></object><br />

<p>From WaveMachine Labs, it&#8217;s a simple video demonstrating that app in which you can &#8220;sing&#8221; to the iPhone&#8217;s mic and it translates the sounds to actual instrument sounds. And the technology is incredible, and thus why this videos are going viral.</p>
<p>But better than explaining it, see for yourself. The first one, with 110.000 views in 10 days, explains the basic of the app:</p>
<p><span id="more-1674"></span></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="295" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-QxN1u7KWDM&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-QxN1u7KWDM&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>The second video, with a few less views (16.000 in the same time period), demos another song:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ak5ShWFiIcc&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ak5ShWFiIcc&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>

<p>Now, we have this video going viral, where they try to smash the iPhone painting him as superficial and just &#8220;pretty&#8221;, nothing else.</p>

Just if you <a href="http://www.theviralmarketingblog.com/2009/10/carl-sagan-gets-auto-tuned-again/">auto-tuned</a> the whole thing!</p>
<p>Anyway, in the morning it had 500 views, now it has 4600, and soon may have much more thousands.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a nice twist on the &#8220;coin-glued-to-the-ground&#8221; prank, and made by a company that does a camera mount for the iPhone 3GS. Also a nice way to showcase your product, by having a video made using it.</p>
<p>Take a look:</p>

<p>We&#8217;ll sure look at it in the coming hours/days to see if it reaches a big number.</p>

<p>Saw this video yesterday when it had about 300 views, now it got to a monstruous 150.000!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an ad from Sony Australia and it&#8217;s about a campaign where when you buy a certainn type of Bravia TV you get offered a PS3.</p>
<p>I like the video but everytime I see it the geek in me hurts. What a waste!</p>
<p><object id="v" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="370" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="align" value="middle" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><param name="src" value="http://wooshii.com/vid/410_1256204711.flv/425/370/410/887/0" /><param name="name" value="v" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="false" /><embed id="v" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="370" src="http://wooshii.com/vid/410_1256204711.flv/425/370/410/887/0" name="v" bgcolor="#ffffff" quality="high" allowfullscreen="false" allowscriptaccess="always" align="middle"></embed></object></p>
<p>Seeing this I think people can get two types of feelings:</p>
<p>- that one when it&#8217;s like one of those movies you already saw and know something tragic is going to happen, but seeing it again hope it won&#8217;t happen this time;</p>
<p>- that one like when you see car races, hoping for some kind of disaster.</p>
<p>And all this gets you 150.000 views in 2 days!</p>
<p>This type of video also reminds me of those classic &#8220;Will it Blend&#8221; videos, from Blendtec to promote their&#8230; blenders! This series has huge numbers of views and are highly popular. This one, about the iPhone, got 7.3 million!</p>

<p>This makes me wonder,  destroying stuff will increase the chances of your video going viral?</p>
<p><em>(Disclaimer: all creatives out there be safe, don&#8217;t go on doing crazy dangerous stuff so your videos go viral, safety always first!)</em></p>
