iPod Nano 4G Ad/Commercial Music

So it’s here, the new iPod Nano. I originally wasn’t too much a fan, but having seen it in real life, it looks a whole lot better than the photo’s. Doesn’t appear to be purposely designed for scratches all over it either (this time)…
Anyway, as promised, here’s the Apple iPod Nano 4G ad (details follow).

The music was originally created by Chairlift, a relatively quiet band at the moment. The song was entitled ‘Bruises’, so we’re safe to assume the song choice was purely based on the sound, rather than the …

Perhaps could have worded the title better, but it gets the message across. I just switched over to Feedburner (used to use in-house methods) to see what all the fuss was about. So, joined up and claimed my feed. Not too bad. I admit, I had to do it about three times, as it never seemed to save my details. Great! Now what?

I know many people on the internet, and surprisingly, many of them still aren’t aware of what the term viral means. I will take this opportunity to remind you that this phrase has no relation to physical health, and if you have such a condition, you have my condolences. Anyway, I wrote this article to explain the term to those unfamiliar with internet marketing, or simply don’t waste their time on the internet surfing around the most pointless websites.
So what is it?
Thanks to the Google dictionary for the following definitions:
