It's time to bring to the surface, once again, a wonderful marketing story. It's a story with two sides. One is true, the other is not. I still don't know which one is true. Either way, it ended up as really powerful marketing.

Let me first tell you the story, how it has been told to me, and what most people think happened.

About a week ago, the news about a falling meteor that created a 27 feet wide crater in Latvia was spread across the world. It was in all the major newspapers, all the TV channels, and of course, on every major social media site. The phenomenon was named Splatvia.

Viral marketing is a very interesting concept, but it's hard to create a successful campaign. If you've been wondering about what viral marketing is, then, I've got an interesting video for you.

The best way to get lots of people to follow you on twitter, is to create a viral marketing campaign. Lot's of people are doing it. Their campaign are somewhat similar, from giving a way stuff to random followers, competitions, to giving away free software or ebooks to all followers that helps spread a message. Let me give you a really fresh example.

A few days ago, I told you how to use Facebook groups, I told you how to find interesting groups and how to create your own groups. Now, it's time to explain why Facebook groups are important when it comes to marketing. I'll also try to explain the difference between Facebook groups and pages.

I have just visited the Christmas tree at MacHeist, and they have some really nice gifts for their visitors. I have downloaded two of them, I could have downloaded them all, but I really didn't need more than two.

We have just launched a quiz at the website of our college. There are three easy questions, and each month for six months, we give away one iPhone to a really lucky person.

Yesterday, I spent most of the day in Oslo. It was mostly work, I was at a fairly long business meeting. I guess it was ok, even though I don't care much for meetings. When I attend a meeting, I usually don't get much work done. And usually, when I am attending a meeting, I don't focus on what's happening during the meeting. I think about everthing else. That's why I want every meeting to be as short as possible. That's really all you need to know about the trip to Oslo. I got home about eight o'clock, it was dark, and it was cold.

First of all, I am using my iPhone to write this post. And thank you Apple for the iPhone, because my broadband connection has been down for close to 36 hours and I really need to get some work done while I am waiting. I wanted to tell you what I have been up to lately. Starting December 1st, we are launching a quiz at our college. We are giving away one iPhone each month for six months. This quiz alone will probably get us a lot of extra traffic.

If you haven't created your Facebook Page(s) yet, I suggest you do it now. Facebook Pages is a powerful way to create viral marketing and gather a huge database of fans. And it might not be that hard to do it.
