How the hidden surprises create word of mouth

June 10, 2009

wolframalphaThe hidden features, surprises, and humor are fantastic topics that help fans talk about your stuff. When Wolfram Alpha recently launched, a lot of the conversation wasn’t about the power of the “computational engine,” but rather, the hidden Easter eggs in the form of a few goofy responses the site gives you for certain queries.

For example, entering “how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” prompts the response, “a woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.”

There are dozens of others, with lots of folks still sharing new ones they find.

The Lesson: It’s hard to talk about the serious stuff, but the hidden surprises are fun, simple topics that are easy to share.
