[WARNING: contains viral elements] Version 1 of Michael's Love Letter

Sat 07 Nov 2009 13:44:20 | 3 comments

Google has a great marketing campaign that is now on the front page of Google Docs; it's called Google Docs, a Love Letter and here is their video:

My natural first reaction was to share it with my friends via Twitter and Facebook, it's so funny. And this is how you capture market share from the incumbent Microsoft, do something that the new entrants, youth, will love and spread virally.

And that's not all for me. I have also taken time to pause the video and write down what Michael was about to send Jessica before his friends came to rescue. Here is his amazing art work, totally made my day:

Dear Jessica,

To quote our old friend William Shakespeare:

"See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O that I were a glove upon that hand, that I might touch that cheek!"

From the first day I saw you in French 101, I only wanted to be that metaphorical glove. Though my first instinct was to tell you "je te adore," I now long to say, "Je veux etre avec toi!!!" I know we haven't talk much thse past three years, but I know you are
*~*~* The One *~*~*

Based on this conclusion, I am making a proposition to which I am hoping you will consent. In order to satrt our courtship, it is first necessary to meet in person and complete the procedure of a proper date. This could include any of the following proposed activities (though not necessarily in the current order). I have highlighted my preferred choice:

DATE ACTIVITIES

A film at the local theater
A beverage of some sort
A brief stroll through downtown
A visit to the mini gold establishment down the street
Playing any of an assortment of MMORPGs
A tour of the Computer History Museum
Please let me know in a prompt fashion whether you will partake in this date with me. An idea of your schedule in the next week would be helpful in planning this event. Please try to avoid Wednesday and Friday nights, as that is when my dorm has game nights, although you are free to stop by to join in the festivities if you would like. Sorry, that came out wrong--actually, I would love it if you came to those too, that is, if you want. Would you mind responding by tomorrow?

Dreaming of you,
Michael
