Close to 2000 views on Youtube is a feat for any video content provider in Kenya. And this is what the Google vs Mocality video has done. The video posted on the 14th of January, on the peak of the tussle has attracted views for its humour and wit.
It might have taken a lighter side of the whole tussle between the Kenyan Startup and Google, but the video did quickly highlight the issues that arose between the two companies two any reader who wanted to know what was going on. Google had been accused by Mocality of stealing customer data and using it to attract them to a competing product. Google has since apologized and is investigating the matter.
This underlines the fact that with faster internet speeds, more and more entrepreneurs need to seriously consider the power of YouTube.
