It's been a while since I posted, but I finally got back to reading The Tipping Point. When I first looked up Malcolm Gladwell before I chose him, "Stickiness Factor" was the first term I read and remembered about him, which is weird because the term itself did exactly what its definition is. It stuck to me. But yeah, I got to the chapter on it and found that the two predominant examples were Sesame Street and Blue's Clues.
Sesame Street's stickiness factor was its non-human characters, especially big bird. They grabbed the attention of the kids. But for Blue's Clues I'll say what was sticky to me from experience. First off, Blue and her clue's were significant symbols of the show and I remembered them well. Then, there's Steve and his handy dandy notebook. But the stickiest part of the show was definitely the end where all the clues are put together. I can see the clues floating in the air, even now. Yeah, he has some interesting stuff, I just wish I had more time to enjoy it... damn annotated bibliographies.
