While reporting on Holly, the 13 year-old North Virginia swimming cat, news anchor, Susan Bahorich couldn't keep her composure. She struggled through the report and finally gave in to laughter as she put her head down, unable to control her mirth. Holly, outfitted in a kitty life vest, paddles around the pool as part of her exercise routine to lose about 8 pounds. Amazing that she enjoys the water! There have been several animals taking to water of late, including a rabbit featured this morning on GMA wearing a life vest as well and with the addition of a red scrunchy holding back the ears.

Here's the latest viral video featuring the Harlem Shake. Watch Daytona 500 Champion Jimmie Johnson No. 48 team as they do the Harlem shake after the big win at the Daytona International Speedway. According to YouTube, the Harlem Shake is a dance that originally began in Harlem, New York. Since its beginnings it has spread to other urban areas and became popular in music videos. The announcers at the Entertainer’s Basketball Classic at Rucker Park will tell you that the modern day Harlem Shake was started by a man by the name of “Al B” (nickname Sisqo or Cisco).

Snoo.ws-Worthy Video: The Hidden Costs of Facebook

February 13th, 2013 (17:03AM) Rose Duggan 0 Comments

This may be kinda controversial compared to our usual fare. At ICUC we love all forms of social media, but we're realistic: SoMe doesn't exits in a vacuum. This interesting series has analyzed some of the other "costs" associated with social media, this video is specific to Facebook. What do you think? Is their assessment fair? What about the hidden perks of social media? They've talked about costs, but as we all know there are so many benefits to social media... for businesses, brands, and people alike. In your experience, do the costs outweigh the benefits? (The site that posted these videos is undergoing a revamp and has asked that we take down the links for the time being - when we are given new links, we will repost them. Thanks, RD on 6.May.2013).

Eye on Democracy

Posted on October 16, 2008 by Holly Rose

With less than three weeks to go until America votes, user-generated initiatives seem to be popping up daily.

One of these campaigns is the Massachusetts-centred Eye On Democracy contest which hopes to open up communication on the election process by allowing people to share their experiences (non-partisan, three minute videos, please) in the election process.

The contest organizers aren’t making it easy to enter, however. Instead of using YouTube or another video sharing site or application, entrants can submit their videos only through the mail (MassVOTE, Eye On Democracy Contest, 18 Tremont Street, Suite 608, Boston, MA 01208). The deadline for submissions is November 24, 2008.

Videos will be judged by employees of MassVOTE and a panel of judges and will be rated on originality, coherence, potential to inspire and technical execution.

The winning submission may be aired as part of a television campaign of contest sponsor MassVOTE and will also receive $2,500 in cheque. This contest is being promoted through Facebook and users can download a flyer on the contest to help promote the movement as well.
