Ben Walker: "You're No One If You're Not on Twitter" is an Online Hit

The adorable musician Ben Walker's song, "You're No One if You're Not on Twitter has been downloaded more than 240,000 times on YouTube since he posted it on Aug. 25th. Now the song has its own page on Walker's blog, where you also can buy a t-shirt (ordered it!)

Says Walker, it's ironic that this song became an online phenomena because he took a job a few days after he posted it and decided to stop trying to become an Internet superstar.

I love this story! Follow Walker on Twitter.

This is hilarious! Got to love the great songs made up about the current tech industry. I'd have to say my favorite is still the SEO rapper!

Wow, that was awesome! Thanks for posting BL. I somehow missed this when it came out in August. (Probably because I was off twitter for almost 3 weeks!)

Loved this line:

"..and try to self promote without being caught..."
