Viral Video to Promote Quebec’s Culture Differences

Did he say fuck and tits?
Le clip est déjà présent sur de nombreux blogs depuis ce matin. Vraiment un bon clip: le message est évident et facile à comprendre: les coupures dans la culture nous affectent tous. Notez également que le Web permet de ne pas se restreindre dans un format publicitaire conventionel de 15/30 secondes. Pour l’instant la plupart des politiciens ont utilisé YouTube afin d’y domper leurs publicité format TV, les artistes montrent ici une réelle compréhension du pouvoir du viral sur le Web. Bien entendu le clip sera repris par les médias tradionnels. De fait, la télévision de Radio-Canada réagit déjà au vidéo sur l’heure du dîner [] . Autre preuve que lorsque bien utilisés, les médias sociaux offrent d’incroyables opportunités. Chapeau aux artisites pour frapper l’imaginaire collectif!

Un site UGC pour le NPD
Dans un même ordre d’idées, le NPD lance un site à saveur collaborative (UGC) où tous et chacun peut désormais collaborer à la campagne. Le site est offert en version et sur deux noms de dommaine différents. On apprend sur le site que l’Espace orange est un endroit où les usagers créent et partagent du contenu pour le web. C’est la première fois qu’un parti politique au Canada met en œuvre un tel site, mais nous ne pourrons pas y arriver sans votre aide. Je suis particulièrement curieux de l’impact que ce site aura sur leur campagne: le taux de participation externe au site devrait offrir un bon indicateur pour mesurer la performance de cet outil.

Any Chance that Someone Will Digg my French Content ?

I’m always happy to see companies adding social media features to their website (specifically when it’s coming from a traditional media). Recently, I’ve noticed that the online version of add some social media buttons to their articles. In fact, what’s even greater is that they also took the time to explain the purpose of these small new icons at the bottom of their news. They let us know that if we find something interesting on their site, we can now bookmark and/or submit the news in order to share the content with others.

The only thing that I really don’t understand is why they choose the Digg-submit thing? Ok, I have nothing against Digg, it’s only that I come from the only french-speaking part of North America and that the newspaper in question contains only french-written content! So besides of , I cannot see any way that someone will digg a article written in french. So what’s the point of sharing something that others won’t be able to read?

When adding some kewl new 2.0 features to your website, would you please take the time to make it appropriate to your user as well as valuable to the users of the social network that you try to join.

How to Get Over Your First Love Digg

Largely inspired by the : , here’s some tips to move on:

  1. Cut off all communication with your ex (remove Digg from your feeds).
  2. Do not hook up with your ex (change your default homepage on your browser).
  3. Recall why you broke up ()
  4. Realize that just because this relationship is over, it doesn’t mean that you’ll never find love again.
  5. Don’t try to get through this alone ().
  6. Talk and see your friends, and family more.
  7. Be open and honest about how you are feeling.
  8. Remember there are other people that care ()
  9. Do not ask your friends if they have seen your ex.
  10. Cry. It’s okay to cry. Just let it all out.

  12. Fill up your MP3 player with the saddest love songs you can think of.
  13. Recognize that you have the power of choice in your life.

I find it weird that most popular stories on Mixx are about Digg, it’s kinda if most popular shows on FOX were about ABC’s.
