This is excellent, although at a quick glance a lot of the clips are really bad quality.
Quick run down - Companies open up contests for people to make short Youtube clips (about their brand) and then the clip creator spreads their clip virally and earns points for the number of people they send it to… Winner is chosen from there

Running - will it be my new year fad?
For the first time ever, I took myself for a run last night. It felt pretty good - even for someone like me who HATES to run.. Here are my thoughts on how to make running easier for the non-runner.
Hopefully by putting this into writing I won’t be able to slack off and Ill have to keep going for my runs!
