Be in the loop for viral videos


One of the many topics discussed in our Internet and Social media class are viral videos. I recently came across Viral Video Chart, created by Unruly Media that tracks the current top viral videos. And can you guess what all of them had to do with? The website sorts the videos by "top 24 hours," "7 days," "30 days," and "365 days." Within the last 24 hours, every single viral video that is in the top twenty has to do with the presidential election.


This site goes beyond Youtube, Google Video and others by sorting what is the most popular. It gives you updates of the videos with the top hits and the best of what is "now." The site also has its own personal blog. It's entertaining and keeps you in the loop of viral videos.


By signing into the RSS feed, you in turn are consistently updated with the top 10 viral videos each day. It is very handy and informative. The site is helpful for bloggers as well.

I also found this very helpful since we are going to have to do a video ourselves. It is helpful to see which videos are popular and use them as examples.
