There is nothing viral about what's been done here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most true viral videos don't have a $100,000 production budget. That number in itself is misleading because Michael Eisnerâ€™s group didn't mention how much it spent to get featured on MySpace or other PR-related activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;True viral videos are usually single clips that grow organically without a Mr.Eisner behind it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also take 200,000 views per day and divide it by "the total number of clips" in the series and the numbers aren't so flattering anymore. 200,000 views/x clips per person and the number isn't as impressive as it seems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If PromQueenTV was 'viral' the number of average daily views would actual increase over time, representing clips being forwarded and shared -- That's not happening here....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I argue anyone that has a series of clips, with that type of marketing power behind it could easily do 200,000 views per day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PromQueen is nothing more than distributed content, with a huge marketing entity behind it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take a look at most popular clips on YouTube and you'll see that they are being watch 50,000 plus times per day, without the Myspace sponsorship or media coverage -- I argue that PromQueen TV is only sponsored content and the only reason it's seeing 200,000 views per days is because of the people behind it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anybody with a budget could easily replicate these results. PromQueen is performing average at best and it's certainly not a viral video or else the numbers would show a growth curve much steeper than it's currently performing at.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">LonelyBloggers.com</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 03 May 2007 12:43:51 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Prom Queen to Reign Viral Video?</title><link>http://mashable.com/2007/05/02/prom-queen-2/#comment-5943161</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Also, big congrats to Big Fantastic, the awesome production company behind Prom Queen (and Sam Has 7 Friends)!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just want to make sure the content creators get their due!  :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Steve Woolf</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 03 May 2007 02:26:29 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
