As I am still ROFLing reading the global tweet bash-up of a certain Govind Tiwari, who just rocked the world on Twitter. After Poonam Pandey became the first Indian to trend on twitter globally, Mr. Govind Tiwari has to be satisfied with being the "first Indian man" title. Some say he even surpassed the mentions of Rebecca Black, The infamous "Friday" singer, who coincidently released her second music video today.
But Do Poonam Pandey and Rebecca Black come even close to the feat Goving Tiwari has achived? Lets compare. Poonam Pandey declared stripping for Indian Cricket team, and she didn't even keep her promise. Rebecca went on to make a music video, which was deemed pathetic world-wide, numerous parodies were made of the same which are still being watched.
All that Govind did was create a simple HTML blog to sicerely urge people to do fraandshio with him on Orkut. Yeah, I know you have heard it somewhere, yeat it was a major social network before Facebook kicked its ass, yeah the same. Just one blog (http://govindtiwari.blogspot.com/) and voila...... the guys is world famous now.
Looking from the social media point of view, brands are spending a helluva money to make viral video's to propogate their brand, the legend of Goving Tiwari shows them the virality of the simple things. And in this battle between paid Vs. organic creativity, Govind has given every individual in marketing an important lesson, you don't need money to market, you need ceativity.
And the poor Govind Tiwari maybe doesn't even know how to use Twitter. I hope someone tells him how famous he became in one day, almost a legend.
Salute to Govind Tiwari, the guy who made a funny blog.
