Super 8 Viral: Craigslist Postings Are Gone! Scott Caldwell, July 31, 2010August 25, 2010 Go back to a month ago, and one of the speculations involved with Super 8, were some Craigslists pages found by the hard working crew at Unfiction. While at one point it seemed like a long shot, some new updates to ScariestThingIEverSaw have proven that they were in fact, a part of the viral. Keep reading for more info. One of the more helpful updates to the above mentioned site, are the printouts. While they may come few and far between, they seem to house the most important info. Hence the finding of the Craigslist sites. Well, now thanks to another printout, we can say goodbye to those lists. Take a look.If you’re who I think you are, it’s about your father. I’ll tell you more when i can, but you must take down those sale listings. Anything you found may be important.So will we have to keep an eye out for the next printout, or will the newly updated Rocket Poppeteers lead us to our next piece of the puzzle?Also, for those of us not lucky enough to get our hands on a Rocket Poppeteer t-shirt from Comic-Con in San Diego, well, you’re in luck. There are two shirts up for sale on ebay right now (here and here) and neither one of them are expensive.As always, keep your eyes on the Super 8 page for all info.Source: Super8News Viral Marketing Viral News Comic-ConDefaultJJ AbramsRocket PoppeteersSteven SpielbergSuper 8Viral marketing

Usually this has been done traditionally with interactive ARGs and a narrative, but in August, comedian Paul Scheer joined in on the fun in an unusual way. Scheer’s involvement… Read More
Cracked’s List Shows How A Viral Can Backfire June 18, 2010When it comes to alternate reality games, the more believable and interactive, the better. It’s wonderful experience we love, except for when it backfires.I’m not talking about when its structured sloppy, I mean when it is far too real for its own good. Cracked made a list that covers such… Read More
