New York Times and the Chicago Tribune.

All it takes for an idea to spread is just a couple of regular people. Why don't you be the one? What idea can you spread today?

I think the Bacn buzz can teach us a lot about the making of internet buzz. I followed its seeds from the first few days (see the chronological overview). I learned that the combination of appreciated bloggers (as Chris Brogan), a twitter buzz, and a scoop in Wired were the milestones of its rise, all in less than 4 days. In 8 days it received the attention of The New York Times (it did take them long..).</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.trendsspotting.com/blog/?p=206"><P>Remember the formula: a catchy word + 1-2 influential bloggers + twitter (or other <A target="_blank" href="http://www.trendsspotting.com/blog/?p=139">sms style spreading mechanism</A>). </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C268DA4A-1C5E-4D60-95A7-54434F91573D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
