In some of my previous articles , I have written about Viral Marketing through YouTube, Twitter, SlideShare and other Web 2.0 sites. But how about a marketing campaign where you can sell yourself [as a person, through a prank] and guess what, it indirectly does the marketing for the company whose software was used for creating this prank 
Check out this amazing video below which is created through Paltalk and I am sure after watching the COMPLETE video, you would also want to include the same on your blog. IMHO, this inner feeling of showing off this video is what makes it so viral !!!
Source of the Viral video : Scott Fox’s Blog
Note:
If you have watched the complete video , than let me make it clear “I still reside in India”

This video has been a big hit with my family. They know I’ve been busy with online viral marketing and I spend most of my day on the internet so I was pretty well setup for this perfect prank. The look on their face was priceless 😉
Glad that you enjoyed that, Himanshu. I thought that it was pretty clever, too.
Hey,

Hey,
@Savya:
Thanks for the information.IMHO,instead of giving an unrelated comment , you could directly mail the relevant bloggers with this information.
Such kind of SPAMMING infact hurts the Brand and also people would be less interested in the same 🙂
