Larry King From CNN Challenges Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher challenges CNN and requests your help.
Well I was surprised to see Larry King yesterday on CNN and challenging direct to Aston Kutcher. Initially I thought that there was a personal war going on like it did in real between Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell. Later I came to know that it was a friendly challenge between CNN an entire network and an individual Ashton Kucher an actor.
It intrigued me more because it was between big 800 pound Media Network and an individual. It would be like you against big company with huge marketing budgets. For restaurants it would be like your independent restaurant versus big chain restaurant with multi-billion dollar at their disposal. But the interesting thing to watch in this race is the power of internet and how social media has changed the equation of business.
I am a huge fan of empowering individual leveraging internet. I believe that just because a company has big marketing budget it should not have the definite right to win the race in business. In fact the game should be played in a plain field using the ideas and innovations and not throwing merely those green dollars. The winner should be decided by the market based on their ideas. So in the spirit of individual empowerment with social media I have already followed Ashton Kutcher on Twitter and also became a fan on his Facebook. We got to support him right. He represent us the regular guys like you and me, who dared to tackle the mightiest CNN.
I am encouraged to see his spirit to take on this challenge. I encourage you also to participate in this challenge contest to support Ashton Kutcher and help him win this race. If he does win then this will prove that with the help of internet and leveraging social media any one can out beat even the big companies with big budgets.We will have to wait and see the results who really is going to be the winner and most importantly see the power of internet and social media.

Well said sir! The independent restaurant owner needs to know that the internet is the system that will amplify their voice and that there are tools out there to assist them in their mission. I for one am for the ma and pop restaurants. With social media, I believe an independent restaurant revolution is on the horizon. I’m looking forward to what is in store! My fork is ready!

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the comment at my blog.
I am glad you are ready with your fork to enjoy the feast that social media and internet has made possible not only to big guys with big budgets but virtually to any one who understands and execute it well on the internet.
Social Media and Internet indeed democratize the marketing plain field for any business including restaurants.
Good Luck.
