South Park does it again… This time they attack the You Tube and viral video stars and the fake (theoretical) dollar values associated with them. Funny episode but only if you know your stuff… but surely everyone has been sent that bloody gopher on Facebook, right?
Enjoy. Oh and just to be clear, this is definitely NSFW – unless you are at a cool place like ours

WOM-UK have a couple of great events coming up, which we will be attending and wanted to let you know about:
This month’s Breakfast Espresso Briefing will be hosted by Face Group, and will look at the launch of their Headbox influencer index www.headbox.com – an online collaboration community for young consumers. The event is on the 22nd April, and is just £20 for us members, or £25 for non-members – and you get your breakfast included.
WOM-UK are also holding a three day exhibition at IDFM – the International Direct Marketing Fair 08. Various WOM-UK members will be running drop-in clinics, and covering all topics relating to word of mouth marketing.

TwitPic is a really cool service that lets you easily add photos to your Twitter stream. In its latest release it has added mobile support, a new interface design, a real-time Google map mashup, plus a couple of features that bring additional utility to Twitter and the TwitPic service, including tagging, geotagging, and RSS feeds. These help with the self-broadcasting end of the life streaming spectrum, and they also help to better organize the huge amount of content on Twitter. If only pulling an RSS feed directly from Twitter was so easy.
Tagging and geotagging are not currently available on TwitPic yet, but they will soon become an integral part of the TwitPic service. These new features, along with the TwitPic API, show the ways in which TwitPic is aiding the Twitter economy.
One thought is how will this integrate with the Facebook Twitter API?
