I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
Oh yeah, have a loook here at Researcher.se he's found an image of the Singaporian Nike graffitti ads and it looks a right mess.
from here:
While some officials and adults took offense at the simulated graffiti, the campaign seemed to touch a chord with young people, many of whom rushed to grab the posters off the bus shelters as souvenirs. "It's super cool," 14-year-old Gilchrist Goh told The Straits Times newspaper.
At international awards in Cannes, for instance, US commercials for local TV stations and Swedish posters for tattooists usually do well.
*giggle* I think Wnek meant to say "Norwegian tattoo campaigns" : like this one that won Grand Prix in Cannes, and it's predecessor, also from Norway.. Yeah yeah, I know, us scandinavians are all the same to you, right? ;) /NitPick.
Distributed Denial of Service - in short, lots of computers call the same webpage/server (in this case only on port 80, ie; the http port) requesting data. Since servers are designed to answer requests for data, the target complies - by having LOTS of people making the same call, at the same time, the server can get so busy answering calls, that it can not answer any new ones, thus "denying service". Hence the name.
(was that a good explanation?)
What's this "we" thing? The royal one? ;)
One thing to note about these new trade rags-cum-blogs is that we often change the dates of posts in. we don't, you might. ;)) But then again we don't have an email system to trick, like "MarketingVox" do it for the mailinglist problems you described. You might want someone to have a look at the code on that, sounds like it could be easily solved without changing dates. ;) And oh yeah, MarketingVOX does credit by writing "adland: (linked headline)."
Yep they do, but you nailed one of the most common problems with their posts right there - they forget that the advertising crowd here would like to see credits. ;) Never approved any posts to BETA-7 as they were all just a single line "beta tester gets sick from playing game" and the link. So like slydecix (is that you Jack? Hello!) said, it's more like spamming in forums. Years ago the RubberBurner 'viral' was launched by the creatives emailing all their friends, and before they could say "viral" it ended up on loosers.org (a page listing lame pages). Like you Neo, people share funny links - a lot of virals are simply not that funny/good IMHO.
I forgot to add a link to the post. In yet another twist from Screenhead: ASABAILEY.COM, Hijacked!
How quickly the jackers become the jackees. ASABAILEY, they of the Ogilvy London hijacking on Saturday, have apparently had their own url jacked by ViralAdAgency.com,who are evidently much tighter with Satan than themselves.
