Win 4 Great Social Media Books

SZ News May 31, 2011 41 Comments @simplyzesty.com

Seeing as we have gone pretty much digital in terms of reading books here at Simply Zesty we thought it would be a good idea to clear out the shelves and give away some of our favorite social media books from the last couple of years. It’s all about raising awareness for our video sharing site Simply Viral which is 3 months old this week and getting lots of traction, if you haven’t been to check it out yet head on over and watch some of the brilliant daily videos we share there. These are quality reads and they have helped shape our own opinions in to social media and the trends emerging at the moment. You can see the picture of the books down below and if you want to check them out online they are here, here, here and here.

How To Win The Books

It couldn’t be easier really…All you have to do to win the books is leave a comment down below. The comment should be a link to a funny video that you have seen online recently. That’s it. We will be picking one random winner on Thursday and the videos might appear over on Simply Viral as one of the daily vidoes. So pop over to Youtube, find a funny video and share it down below with your name and the books could be winging their way over to you by the end of the week.

Here Are Your Books

Here are the very books that will be mailed out to you old school by post anywhere in the world. We will just be happy to give them a new home and hopefully you’ll benefit and learn as much from them as we did…

Thought I’d share a video that doesn’t have a bazillion views. So, without further ado, I bring to you: White dogs can’t jump.

Ooooh! How exciting I really hope I win because some of these books have been on the top of my “To Read” list forever! Here’s a video I watched yesterday:

It’s pretty old, but I loved it because it really does show that we are all human, we all get frustrated sometimes, and afterwards we can all have a laugh about it .

Hey there!

Here is something I find hilarious and has a great twist to the story. Motorracing fans will find it especially funny, i think

Would love to read these books! There are a number of funny videos. An untechnical cute / funny video that I watched recently was ‘Kitten riding Tortoise’: http://youtu.be/bjZqZWbmXK4

I love this one by Tippex, it is an excellent interactive campaign!: http://youtu.be/4ba1BqJ4S2M

Also loved Google’s April Fools prank video, ‘Gmail Motion’: http://youtu.be/Bu927_ul_X0

In Holland Heineken is famous for it’s commercials but now Bavaria (an other Dutch beer brand) has made a legendary new commercial which, I expect, will go Viral all over the world:

I’m a big proponent of the theory that the internet was made for cats, so I give you:

I remember watching this video a couple months ago, and it was just mesmerizing. Sure, its a bit over the top, but it can’t hurt to dream.

Even if this is an ad from early 2010, it’s one of my top favorites. You cannot but just love the evil face of that little girl. This ad was made by TBWA to promote the Young Director Award 2010. Enjoy!

It has to be Munster Rugby player Ronan O’Gara belting out the Queen classic ‘I Want to Break Free’ on his way to training as part of the TomTom online promotional campaign… hilarious.
