The New 7 Wonders of the World Results Announced
Posted by Harrace, Senior Internet Marketing Coach
If you have read newspapers or watched BBC news in the last week, you would know that the new 7 Wonders of the World has been in the headlines.
Just some background in case you have been hibernating or living in a cage. Most of the original 7 Wonders of the World were destroyed or not exist any longer and an organisation came forward to launch the campaign for anyone worldwide to vote for the new 7 Wonders, through online, phone calls and SMS. As a result, more than 90 millions votes were recorded!
The voting ended last Saturday and I just found out the results from the official site. See if you agree with the results, which are controversial, understandably, as it involves the dignity and face of different countries, religion and alike.
Here are the results from www.new7wonders.com
 Chichén Itzá, Mexico |
 Christ Redeemer, Brazil |
 The Great Wall, China |
 Machu Picchu, Peru |
 Petra, Jordan |
 Roman Colloseum, Italy |
 The Taj Mahal, India |
The results (including some of the finalists) can be controversial. The Great Wall of China may be an undisputed candidate. What is your opinion on this new 7 Wonders?
Putting aside this list, the other reason I posted this article is this is another example of Internet viral marketing. Owing to the Internet, anyone in the world with access to the Internet could vote, and because of the immense interest this campaign has managed to create, it spreads like virus and within a short period of time, more than 90 million votes were registered worldwide!
Have you got another viral idea?
