10 tips to make something socially sharable
Picture this; you’re in a meeting, and someone asks that if there’s any way that you could (and I quote) ‘make it viral’…
…I realise that this is a question that’ s been asked for the past five years… but it’s still being asked, and that is probably down to the fact that it’s been answered properly…
Anyway, this from Mashable; a list of ten ‘social media gimmicks’ that might well make something worth spreading (written by Darren Barefoot of Capulet Communications).
It’s a quick handy list of general principles, useful for forwarding on to other folks as examples. I’ve copied the list out quickly below, but do go and read the whole post to see the great examples…

iii) Keep it short
iv) Go Meta
v) Give it away
vi) Add Mystery
vii) Respond to current news
viii) Bring sexy back (and back and back)
ix) Demonstrate extraordinary skill
x) Embrace the ephemeral
