In case you missed all the buzz floating around the internet this week, Old Spice did a viral marketing push where the Old Spice Man posted personal response videos to users who tweeted comments to him. Some were celebrities and influential people, others average tweeters, and even a robot.

I discovered the campaign when one of my co-workers tweeted that the Old Spice Man had sent a get well video to Kevin Rose (he’s been down with pneumonia). It went on for two days, with over a hundred videos produced and posted on their youtube channel.
