Bus. Eng: 15 Mins of Fame

"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes."  - Andy Warhol

These days, it's really common to hear conversations that begin with... "Have you seen that Youtube video...?"  In class today, I brought up the topic of viral videos in relation to word of mouth promotion/advertising. Viral videos get passed from one person to another through Internet sharing. When something "goes viral", this refers to an Internet video getting the special "status" of being seen by a vast number of people quickly. This has also led to creating many overnight Internet celebrities/sensations getting their "15 mins of fame."

Here are some really famous videos that have made their way around the Internet and have spread like a virus. So next time somebody sings the 'Friday' song or talks about 'sneezing panda' you will be "with it" and not be lost in the conversation.
 

Some viral videos to check out!
