Lost in this jumble of social networking is the irony that people are spreading the news of the first person to ever appear in a ?viral video.? David Jenyns, Director of Melbourne Video Production, explains why the moon landing was more than just a video of man?s greatest achievements, but the first glimmer of viral social networking. Armstrong was one of my personal heros,? says David Jenyns, Director of Melbourne Video Production, ?and while taking some time to reflect back on his amazing life, I came to realize the public frenzy surrounding his lunar achievement was actually foreshadowing events to come. Back then, people had to share the information of Armstrong?s landing by word of mouth, be it by radio, telegraph, or just telling a neighbour,? David says, ?so being able to gain that many viewers was truly the first glimmer of what we call social networking, and of a viral kind.
