Many optimizers are in favor of split-testing, too: direct marketers, landing page and SEO experts -- heck even the Google Website Optimizer team. What the PR stories tend to leave out is that we can get attached to every part of our vision, even the dumb parts. For example, I’m a big believer in split-testing.

YouTube is a distribution and marketing channel like any other. You can’t build a brand on YouTube.

But its not really viral growth, even when its exponential.
