Ok, so I'm obsessed with this song, "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley. This wasn't one of those songs that grew on me over time... I was hooked the first time I heard it - and I came in halfway. So much so, that I went and bought the CD that day. Now that's consumerism at it's very best.
I was just wondering what makes certain things strike a chord, while others flop. What is it about some products that reel me in and make me an evangelist in their name? I'm pretty picky about the products that I use (and by products, I mean books, music, beauty aids, restaurants, etc.), but when I really like it, I'll tell everyone I know about it. What does it take to make you spread the word about something? Is it something little, or do you have to be bowled over? I know I get a lot of customers through word-of-mouth - so I'm just curious what pushes your buttons!
Sidebar - I've heard "Crazy" is a great video too, and if MTV or VH1 ever played videos, maybe I could judge for myself.

LOL...VH1 classic plays videos believe it or not.
Usually it has to be something big for me to tell everyone about it. It really has to impress me. Many times I like a product, but won't spread the word about it unless I'm REALLY impressed with it. Something that makes me go "wow! Everyone HAS to have this!" Not many things make me say that.
Susan, my dear... we live in the world of YouTube. You CAN watch the video. And I'm in love with that song too. :)
I don't know why some things click and some don't. That's why I enjoyed reading The Tipping Point. It at least gave some insight into that process.
Me too! That's one of my all-time favorite books. Things like that fascinate me - how little things can make a big difference.
I didn't think of Youtube for that! But I did happen to see it on VH1 this morning and loved it. Very artistic and different.
I actually read The Tipping Point because of your recommendation. :)
You listened to me? My dog doesn't even listen to me!
Glad you liked it!
