The Story – 4 people . 1 room . 2 hours
So we were 4 people, sitting in a conference room thinking on…
Creating Magic!!!
40 minutes of
intense brainstorming
www.omlogic.com
And was Born…OMShare – A business Idea which is growing by Leaps and Bounds!!
We put an event LIVE on the internet leveraging Social Media
www.omlogic.com
But…there always are RoadBlocks!!
So we had 7 hours in which
we had to launch the platform LIVE
for an event to be covered, which was signed up 2 days back!!
www.omlogic.com
And our designer said – I’ll build you a site in a couple of hours!!
And as we were putting
the pieces together
It all came
Crashing Down
www.omlogic.com
Due to some emergency the designer had to leave work in the middle and there were 4 hours left for the sun to rise
And we were
In a FIX
Shall we call off the event?
Can we still pull it off?
www.omlogic.com
And came the saviour…
It’s a bird…
It’s a plane…
It’s WordPress
www.omlogic.com
And the REAL CHALLENGE begins!!4 hours . 2 guys . 1 BIG event
• We chose a premium theme •Integrated plugins
• Integrated the various SMM tools
• Did the first post LIVEAnd
Pressed this button

4:30 am in the morning and we were DONE
But Why WordPress
Well, because other than being easy,
WordPress is like
The Slice Bread
www.omlogic.com
The Slice Bread that we know today, was a failure for more than 15 years after its invention till…
…Wonder bread came along
and
Otto Rohwetter
It spread the Idea
www.omlogic.com
WordPress spreads the Idea
I swear I don’t know any coding
The amazing thing is that integrating widgets from various Social Media tools, to really take the message viral, was just kid stuff!!
And I still don’t know any coding
People don’t really need to go anywhere else, they have all access to any events’ photographs, ppt’s, videos – all on one platform!!
