Brief Explanation

A video showing a teenager running faster than Asafa Powell (third fastest man in history) was seeded online. It ended with the URL of a student's blog in London. Bloggers around the world posted the video and posed questions about the runner's identity and what was the video all about. Eventually another video of Asafa promoting the world's first Youth Olympic Games is found on the YOG website. The blogger connects this video to the first and pronounces that the first video was a promotion for YOG. All traffic following the mysterious video was then directed to the YOG website.
