My Social Times article goes viral

Recently, I began contributing articles to one of the biggest social media news websites in the world, Social Times after the editor declared his interest in having me write on my expertise of 'startups' and 'web and mobile business' once or twice a week.

The article I wrote the other day went seriously viral.

It was called 'Cosmo Kramer Saw Facebook Potential - A Lesson For Entrepreneurs' and explored an uncanny link between the loved Seinfeld star and the fastest-growing web business in the world.

It received nearly 100 Tweets and over 100 Facebook Likes. I read much of people's comments when they tweeted and retweeted, and they loved the pop culture approach to teaching a lesson for startups and entrepreneurs. Many led people to the article by writing something smart such as 'Kramer invented Facebook', 'Winklevosses have no case' and 'Facebook ownership puzzle solved' in their status update.

Even a fake Kramer Twitter account that is widely-followed wrote 'I came up with Facebook - giddy up!'

This is a lesson for me in blogging and one I wish to share with all bloggers. Write clever stuff and they will come!
