fractal marketing

Fractal marketing is the process by which a product or service is promoted through modern electronic media and is subsequently picked up and scattered by potential consumers.

Whereas viral marketing presupposes that a consumer is infected with the intended message, fractal marketing reflects that the consumer modifies the message: it's still part of the snowflake's pattern, just a unique piece of it.

An example of fractal marketing would be Apple's Switch campaign of 2002 and Ellen Feiss's subsequently marketed web identity. They are affiliated, they are part of the same pattern, but this outcome could not be predicted by Apple.

merkelicious

(adj) To be awesome beyond words. Though it is not quite Fergalicious, it still holds its own in many small cirles of scholars. To see in person look no further than "The Annika"

I think you look so gangsta it is rediculous, but better.

Pirate Marketing

A term describing the so-called "marketing strategy" of spammers who "advertise" or plug) their products and services by using people’s email addresses to send out bulk mail messages to all the contacts they've hijacked, pretending the email was written by the person who's identity they have hacked into.

This is done to suggest a person has tried and tested the product and to spread bogus word of mouth virally. This is entirely fraudulent and can potentially hurt a person’s reputation, but thankfully this method is used by individuals and groups who are just as stupid as the people they are trying to scam (i.e. catering to the lowest denominator). For this reason, the spam message itself is usually as easy to detect, as the cheap knockoffs (or stolen goods) they are trying to unload on unsuspecting victims.

According to Wikipedia, spam averages 78% of all e-mail sent.

Here is a prime example of pirate marketing allegedly sent from a friend:
