Sporadic Awesomeness

What is the Fastest “0 to Global” Brand?

dihard:

Basically, what brand (company, product, person, any entity that holds a brand identity) do you think gained awareness the fastest. Reblog your answer, if you’re so inclined. TBC Monday (taking a snowboard trip to Stowe this weekend).

I’m inclined to say some sort of recent technology that I can’t quite put my finger on. Tivo perhaps? No one had heard of the idea of pausing, rewinding, and recording live television until Tivo. Now, I couldn’t live without some sort of DVR device. Then again, I’m a lazy bastard.
