You can't get away for the Viral Buzz surround the TMobile SidkeKick III which is set to debut in the next week. I wrote about it yesterday Sidekick 3 Sells for $4050 on eBay. Really.....
And Yahoo Buzz has a post about it too.
"Searches on "sidekick 3" have swung into our top 400, taking such variations as "sidekick 3 release date," "t-mobile sidekick iii," and "new sidekick 3" along with them. "T-mobile" and "t-mobile phones" also dialed up the buzz, and even "sidekick 2" rang up an 11% boost.
Meanwhile, with timing so eerie it almost seems orchestrated, the hunt for a stolen Sidekick in New York City led to such a kafuffle that the blogosphere descended in all its scathing glory, the police got involved, The New York Times weighed in, and searches for "stolen sidekick" spiked. It was like a modern-day morality tale, hosted by T-Mobile. Lesson: Get your filthy paws off my Sidekick."
If I did not know better, and maybe I don't - this does sound like a Viral Campaign - the kinda stuff that B.L. Ochman does. Would not be surprized if she has a hand in it...that is ...if it really is a "viral campaign" for the Tmobile Sidekick III. Did a search on her site but did not find any references to the SideKick....maybe it's time to go to bed.
sorry, this is not one of mine. good one by whomever's it is though. :>)
