Snoo.ws-Worthy Video: News Anchor Loses it Over Swimming Cat

March 07th, 2013 (11:47AM) Rose Duggan 0 Comments

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.

Snoo.ws-Worthy Video: Daytona Champ Does The Harlem Shake

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). Al B was an alcoholic that would do the dance upon request. Because of its founder, the dance was originally called the “albee” in Rucker and Harlem, but then later became known as the Harlem Shake.

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).
