The SECRETS Why the Apple iPad Video Ad (Oscar 2010) Became Viral [Videos]

Apple’s “Meet iPad” ad, which debuted during the Oscars, became the second-most viewed viral video ad last week. Michael Learmonth, writing for AdAge, points out that “Apple has had a YouTube channel since 2005, but only recently started using it. In the past, they’d focused on driving views on Apple.com, but for the iPad, they allowed the video to be embedded across the web, and views were distributed across 100 different placements.” Michael goes on to state that “Apple turned off commenting on its own videos, but a robust conversation bloomed around copies. Interestingly, this posting, with 2,422 comments as of this writing, was most-viewed; Apple’s official version was a distant second.

Learmonth reports, “The most-viewed spot this week is a video that’s been hanging around the list since the Super Bowl, but got some extra juice from controversy. E-Trade was slapped with a $100 million lawsuit for ‘Milkoholic’ by Lindsay Lohan, and the surge to more than 3 million views.

More than 2.4 million people have already feasted their tired but excited online eyes on an ad that covers the basics and makes you wonder whether, beneath the thighs, there might be some Asics. With the iPad launch coming soon, we will soon find out if the iPad is going to be more than just hype [make sure you also check out this ultimate collection of top 20 funny Apple iPad Pictures (Photo Manipulations)].

    Apples new iPad good enough to get?
    I have just seen the ad for the apple new iPad.Basically, a big itouch. I already have a Macbook Pro, just 3 years old. And I love it. But now there is this deep want in my stomach that I have for the iPad. I’ve never seen anything like it. I know that it will be just a toy for me, something shiny to play with, since I do all my real work on my laptop. But I want to know from you guys, what do you think I should do? And would YOU get the iPad?
