Hey there internet people!

Do you have any suggestions for internet marketing? What sort of things do you see online that make you excited for a movie? What would you like to see? What turns you off? If you belong to a fan community, what gets them going?

Inquiring minds would like to know! Your input could lead to a significant reduction in eye-rolling and shuddering in the near future.

I don't know if you watch LOST or not. During the summer of 2006, the creators launched this Alternate Reality Game (ARG) which expanded LOST mythology by hiding clues all over the internet. The three countries that "hosted" the ARG were the US, UK, and Australia. I've never been quite so excited about anything on the internet before. Corporate sponsors jumped in, so monster.com, jeep, and sprite helped hide clues on their websites, which was fantastic marketing for them. The wiki page has a list of all the "in-game" websites.

Hey, it's good to get the same ideas from a number of people, that just proves how popular they are. :)

YES THIS. The "alternate reality" thing was exactly what I first thought of when I read your journal. So I second, or maybe third this suggestion.
