When news go viral : John Kerry speech "Taser style" with Andrew Meyer

More info :http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/19/cnnu.tase & there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bVa6jn4rpE. I am especially shocked by the lack of the reaction of the audience. Most of them continue to listen when one of their schoolmate, Andrew Meyer, is just being "tazed". Ok maybe was he a bit demonstrative but come on! When are they going to taze children for not finishing their soup! This is the most video viewed on Youtube today and discussion are numerous abou this incident (more than 18.000 comments & more tan 1.125.000! views on one day!!!). What do you think about it?

Word of mouth Marketing Conference in Belgium

lThanks to Cible & Defimedia for having invited me to speak about buzz & word of mouth marketing in Namur (Belgium) last tuesday. As cofounder of BuzzParadise and Culture-Buzz, I always appreciate opportunities to tell brands that buzz marketing offers a great potential for them to spread their message.

It was nice to see that more than 130 people came to learn more about this marketing approach. You can find more information on the dedicated website : http://www.buzzmarketing.be or on the Belgium newspaper article of La Libre Belgique.

 

A great example of Conference Presentation

I always think I tend to say too much on a power point slide. Dick Hardt, Founder & CEO of Sxip Identity, is just the perfect example on how to master a speech with slides never containing more than 2 words or pictures. Even if it means lots of slides ;)

His presentation at OSCON 2005 Keynote (very "Lawrence Lessig" style) about Identity 2.0 is just brilliant and definitely supports his ideas.
