Viral Oreos

Oreo successfully capped off a video contest on YouTube today. Users were asked to share their "Oreo Moment" in a short original video. The winning video has over 500,000 views and can be seen below.

One thing I find interesting is that Oreo disabled comments for the video. If Oreo wants to engage in discussion with their customers, why not let them comment. If they are worried about inappropriate comments, which I'm sure would have been posted, they could have at least chosen to moderate the comments. Rant aside, check out the winning video tomorrow.

Party Like It's 2012

The Beijing Olympics are officially over. Now we can get back to our normal lives...or start thinking about the 2012 summer Olympics in London. It didn't take long for London to roll out the online promotion for the 2012 games.

Below is a trailer for the video contest for the 2012 games.
