Govind Tiwari Trends Worldwide on Twitter; But Who is He?.





Govind Tiwari from Allahabad has become an overnight online sensation, all thanks to his kitschy blog - govindtiwari.blogspot.com.

Govind Tiwari has been one of the top trends on Twitter for much of Tuesday and Wednesday and the the link to his blog has been shared over 12,000 times on Facebook. There is also a Facebook fan page on him.
Now even a simple website, that was innocently made to make more friends on a social networking site, can make you a viral sensation, as was discovered by an Allahabad boy on Tuesday.

Now, I feel Twitter is a crazy place. Govind is trending because of his blog's design, but there is nothing to see on his blog, besides his blinking photo.


Why is Govind Tiwari Trending Worldwide on Twitter?

Govind is trending because of his blog's design, but there is nothing to see on his blog, besides his blinking photo.

It's hard to believe but Govind Tiwari of Allahabad is trending on Twitter because of his blog. But, his blog doesn't have any readable content and you can just find images, flashing everywhere.Govind  has posted his photo on the blog with some multimedia effects. In addition you are also greeted by a background music. You can see stars flashing in the background, the earth revolving on the right side and his eyes blinking  in the images on the left side.

On the blog header, you can see his photo with the  name 'Govind Tiwari'. He has also posted some videos on the blog. Interestingly, he has also disabled right click, and it says "Sorry, no right-clicking allowed."

Tiwari was the subject of much ridicule on Twitter on Tuesday. For example, one user, Eccentricandhow tweeted 'Baba Ramdev winks. Govind Tiwari blinks. There's a difference in their modus operandeye.' while the MTV India Twitter page left a tweet saying, "Govind Tiwari is everything Rakhi Sawant wants in a man."

Who is Govind Tiwari?

I don't know much about Govind Tiwari but through his blog I came to know that he is an Orkuterian. On his blog he wrote, "I am Govind Tiwari from Allahabad. I am on Orkut for making good friend. You can send friend request on Orkut." And it seems he has taken some type of Multimedia training or web designing.Govind-Tiwari-Blog.png

I discovered his Orkut profile,  According to his Orkut profile, he studied at Bharat Scout and Guide Inter College, Allahabad. While he is present on many online hangouts, Govind seems to be most active on Orkut where he has about 160 friends and has posted over a thousand scraps and over 200 photos.
All of Govind's photos, possibly shot in a photo studio, have him in the same posture with his hands crossed below his chest. Govind also played around with Photoshop to give his photos some rudimentary effects. One of the photos that he posted on Orkut has US President Barack Obama watching him on television. and I also managed to find a LinkedIn profile named Govind Tiwari. If it's his original profile on LinkedIn, then he is a student of Uttar Pradesh Technical University. He is on twitter too.

Could Govind be as lucky? Only time will tell. In the meanwhile, have a look at his site here.
