Boom. The audience jolted from their chairs, unleashed an explosion of standing ovations. The first rows created a clapping thunderstorm that traveled row after row, until the entire hall drowned in the sound ocean. In-between, the attendees shared the news on their blogs and websites. The Blogbuster hashtag spread like a digital shockwave. A never ending chain of comments and predictions ensued. Thousands of blogs and video sites picked up on it, shared it, reviewed it. The resulting traffic blew up networks and brought down the servers of major social media sites. The sharepocalypse unleashed.
Some messages read,
“Have you heard ? Sounds sooo exciting.”
“Wowzee, wowa, wow. Can’t wait to see what the Blogbuster is.”
“Big talker, let’s see what he delivers.”
“It’s all hype, you sheeple. Don’t fall for it.”
Roman Stax’ announcement became the number one trending message in at least ten countries. And boy, did it make the multi-millionaire smile. It took him almost two years of planning and a three hundred strong workforce to create the Blogbuster, but it was worth this very second. Because this second was the beginning of his plan, the plan to change it all. So even if a meteor was to crash earth right now, it couldn’t dethrone Roman Stax’ top ranking. Why ?
Because a big stone crashing from space with the power of ten thousand nukes would have nothing on Roman Stax. The pretty girl with the blond hair would have agreed.
