30. A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are
commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can
also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a
blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject;
others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog
combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and
other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave
comments in an interactive format is an important part of many
blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on
art (), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music
(MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) are part of a wider network of
social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which
consists of blogs with very short posts.
As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was
tracking more than 112 million blogs.[1]
31. Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use preexisting social networks to produce
increases in brand awareness, through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and
computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet.[1] Viral marketing
is a marketing phenomenon that facilitates and encourages people to pass along a marketing message voluntarily.[2] Viral
promotions may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, ebooks, brandable software, images,
or even text messages.
It is claimed that a satisfied customer tells an average of three people about a product or service he/she likes, and eleven
people about a product or service which he/she did not like.[3] Viral marketing is based on this natural human behavior.
The goal of marketers interested in creating successful viral marketing programs is to identify individuals with high Social
Networking Potential (SNP) and create Viral Messages that appeal to this segment of the population and have a high
probability of being passed along.
The term "viral marketing" is also sometimes used pejoratively to refer to stealth marketing campaigns[4]--the use of
varied kinds of astroturfing both online and offline [5] to create the impression of spontaneous word of mouth enthusiasm.
