Priceless: GM learned a valuable lesson when it gave the public the chance to create their own ads for the newly designed 2007 Chevy Tahoe. In theory, the company was hoping that visitors to its Web site would e-mail their own videos around the Web, generating interest for the Tahoe through what is known as viral marketing. By the measure of Chevrolet Tahoe videos circulating the blogosphere and video-hosting Web sites like YouTube, that goal was achieved. At first glance, the video looks like a typical 30-second car commercial: a shiny sport utility vehicle careers down a country road lined with sunflower fields, jaunty music playing in the background. Then, white lettering appears on the screen: “$70 to fill up the tank, which will last less than 400 miles. Chevy Tahoe.” (NYT) (View some here and here and here.)
