On the heels of Palm's latest "Life moves fast. Don't miss a thing" ad campaign, I see a glaring opportunity to do the webOS family a bit of a favour (Canadian spelling).
What can I do?
GET VIRAL! The time is now to act! The goal of viral marketing is to make people research the product on their own time. No one wants to be force-fed bullet points.
So, the goal is to update your social networking (facebook, twitter, myspace) with the marketing tagline: "Life moves fast. Don't miss a thing." AND NOTHING ELSE. If we have strength in numbers, people will start to wonder what all the commotion is about. There are over a million webOS users out there, andnow is the time to heed the call!
Why do this?
To gain mindshare. If you're like me, you see the growing potential of webOS and it pains you to think of future without it.
If we can even trend twitter or google with the catch-phrase, it will generate that much more interest in palm's products.
We're all in this together, and we all need to show Palm that we care too.
When?
Great! You've made it this far in the post and that alone deserves some credit. On the below dates, everyone who is on board will change their facebook status, tweet, update your IM status, and so on to "Life moves fast. Don't miss a thing":
- March 25th, 2010
- April 8th, 2010
- April 15th, 2010
It's important to all target this on a specific date in order to make a ripple in the internet ocean. Strength in numbers!
Sounds good! What can I do now?
There's more you can do now to spread the cause. Let's infect the internet!
- Join the following facebook group to receive updates. I will send group-wide messages on the planned dates
- Get this posted on your favourite blog! Especially PreCentral *wink wink*!
- Spread the word! The more people the bigger the wave!
- Add a link to this post to your PreCentral forum signature:Time to get VIRAL
Strength in numbers, everyone! We need a good chunk of members to make this thing work!

It looks like you know a bit about viral internet marketing, if not please stop by for a free report.
