pan spitting individuals or rickshaw drivers
who refuse to ferry people around.

posts.

To add to the momentum a Facebook app was created in the second phase. The
app let users eliminate aliens by sharing, commenting and tagging thus creating
buzz.

38. Analysis of the campaign…
It was done well in terms of the design, the execution and the thought
given to having both low and high resolution
Another amplifying factor is the Facebook and Twitter sharing options on the
app

crisp notes at all times!
