Instead of just making it easy to pass along the clip with a "Send to Friend" or some other tactic they've gone ahead and incentivized word of mouth. That, I think, creates an even stronger sense of people having a stake in the success of the movie.</p><p>If there's one problem I have with this, it's that there's no way to just link to the preview. That takes email more or less out of the picture, which shouldn't be overlooked in the age of social networks and embed codes and such. Just a thought.</p>Chris ThilkSun, 16 Dec 2007 08:45:07 -0000
