If you could get the ad posted on all major video uploading sites, and other
media sharing sites as well as blogs and such. You could easily have yourself a
relatively cheap ad campaign.

Well, say instead of a TV advert, we contributed our ideas to the Viral
Video's project or something similar to make a channel on youtube, or even
both, if we're lucky, we could touch on subjects such as Ubuntu hour, and
ways to help improve your first time experience with Ubuntu.

In fact, if we still wanted to, I'm pretty sure we could make an advert, and
then just put it on youtube, sort of like what microsoft have done, with
little 'shorts' to promote Win7.

Oh wow. Just goes to show that something like this may still be possible.
Alan, are you interested in creating this advert, for serious? If you are,
I'll make you a collaborator to the google sites page I set up for the

Personally, I think it would be hard to answer a broad set of

range of potential target audience is too great. therefore, it would
be better

I think it'd be better to show how ubuntu is cost-effective (i.e; Free). If
someone sees something that works better than what they have, for a lot less
money, then they could possibly be enticed. It could also be noted that
ubuntu is much secure to attacks from viruses and such.
