Ask HN: Startups and Viral Marketing / Social Media
I'm going to hold a talk today on "Social Media and Business" and just today morning I thought it would be nice to incorporate how startups use Viral Marketing and Social Media to gain traction and promote themselves and their products...
I remember the Swiss startup Amazee very cleverly using Social Media when they were in a dispute with Amazon. Also almost every startup nowadays is blogging and using various Social Networks to promote themselves. Do you have any more examples that go further than that?
- aaronbrethorst 17y agoI find counter-examples just as helpful. Maybe you could highlight how a handful of relatively high-profile startups could improve their viral marketing strategies.
- mkuhn 17y agoYou are right, was thinking of Dropbox there, even though their recommendation Feature probably has produced quite some growth. Another suggestion?
