The Mobisode Maven !:

How to create contagious advertising the Burger King way !

New York - ( April 2005 ) Something odd emerged on the Web, a chicken dressed in garters that could do seemingly anything viewers requested. After being seeded into several internet chat rooms " Subservient Chicken " instantly struck a nerve with bloggers , in part because the sites technology allowed viewers to type in nearly anything & get a responce from the chicken ! He can do the Birdy dance, push - ups , and even watch television. He seemed impossible to stump, even wagging his finger in warning should your request be rather racey ! Within a day after being released the site had a million hits, within a week 20 million hits. It went on to become the greatest Viral Idea ever !
