We started off the viralization of the video through facebook posting and asking friends to viralize it as well. We then started using forums to post it. The tracking then showed us that we started off with few hits, and then it peaked during the weekend.
We tracked our video daily by checking the link once a day. We then collected the data after two weeks of the video posting. We graphed the results of the trends and where the high peak of hits was during the two weeks. As the graph shows, the weekend has the highest hits. However, we concluded that our video was not successful in viralizing in two weeks because we intentionally tried to viralize it.
To further prove this, Sameer, has made his own video for youtube, not INTENTIONALLY for viralization. However, he got more hits on it than our facebook skit video! This unintentional viral video was more successful than the facebook skit because of the quality and more effort put into the video. The viewers have to show some interest in a video before they want to share it with others, thus, that happened with the music video, but not the facebook skit. Another example is when the video was spammed on a forum, Sameer got banned from it. In conclusion, we believe that making a video to purposely get it viralized is harder than to have a video viralize itself spontaneously.
