Ultimate Frisbee

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 20:58:54 +0100

It seems that the incoming class of MBAs has decided to challenge us second-year MBA students to a game of Ultimate Frisbee this Wednesday, the 12th! The showdown will happen at 3:45pm at Sunnyside Park. First years should come dressed in light colors and second years should come dressed in red or dark colors. I'll personally be coming out of ultimate frisbee retirement to show the first years how it's done. :)

Even if you don't want to play, we'd love to see you there supporting your classmates!

Kristine Taylor's Summer Experience

Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:13:29 +0100

Wanted: One Viral Video, Please

The word “viral” is, well, viral these days. During my internship at Sifteo this summer, a coworker and I embarked on a mission to create a viral video. While we never actually made a video that “went viral,” I did pick up some insights on how to create one.

After spending a good chunk of a day watching videos of cats pouncing into boxes, men crying over rainbows and commercials shot in just one take, I happened upon a TED Talk that asked the question, “Why do videos go viral?”

Interestingly enough, the conclusion of this TED Talk is not a list of what elements your YouTube sensation needs to have to be worthy of being watched and watched again. Instead, it basically comes down to a video being interesting, unique and shareable. (Also, if you happen to get your video tweeted by a culture-icon like Jimmy Kimmel or Tosh.0, that’s an automatic “win”.)

Although these concepts seem simple, viral videos actually take a lot of work. Of course, there are plenty of viral videos of babies and cats that barely took any work at all. But companies don’t have babies or cats. Therefore, a company, in general, is going to have to put a lot of time and effort into making a video that is unforgettable, and more importantly, share-worthy.

Below is the video my coworker and I created. Although it didn’t go viral, it now has up to 555 views.
