Default Youtube Experiment - Starcraft 2 Release date

I'm doing an experiment on youtube for a class I'm taking.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FskmAP2TX7s

I've posted a fake trailer that claims to show the viewer the official Starcraft 2 release date. I posted it last night, and I have one week to see what happens. It should be fun to watch it develop.

If you feel like playing along, comment on it, or go post it somewhere and see if we can make it go viral.

You probably shouldn't have posted this here until AFTER.

Neat video though. Did you make that?

Also, what exactly are you trying to experiment?

This is 100% fake. The guy who made it posted on forums explaining that it was part of a school project to see if it goes "viral".


Probably should delete that comment.

I think the "experiment" is ruined. Too late.

I made the video using footage from Blizzard's official Starcraft 2 trailers, and cutting them together. The release date text was created using Starcraft font that I found online.

The experiment is searching for what makes a youtube video get a lot of hits. Several other students are experimenting with different styles. Anything from "Britney Spears uncensored dancing and eating" to comedic cologne ad spoofs.

I don't know whether I should have posted that this was an experiment or not. I thought it could generate more interest if I came clean about the experiment, and allowed people to be on the "in."
