How a viral video exposed the ultimate war criminal…

With over 75 million hits and counting in just one week, this is possibly the biggest viral campaign in history: A brilliantly made short documentary by film maker Jason Russel, attempting to expose one of the world’s most feared murderers, Joseph Kony.

Chill.com – Facebook may be the master when it comes to sharing photos with your friends; but when it comes to video there’s still something missing: the ability to create a nice big collection of all your videos, and also collections of cool videos you’ve found on any particular subject across the internet, and show them off in one place. And luckily enough for us avid consumers of online video, Chill’s creators have addressed this gap.

You sign up with your Facebook account, follow a few suggested users based on your interests, plus any of your Facebook friends already ‘chilling’. And then you can view cool videos either from a stream of all these users put together, or by clicking on any user’s individual feed. The feeds are great looking, and really do come out like a lovingly created scrapbook of shareable videos. This idea really works best when it comes to creating a ‘collection’ of videos on any particular subject, like this (albeit slightly Apple-geeky) collection of Steve Jobs videos I decided to follow and share for example. And there’s also a bookmarklet that allows you to post videos you find around the net that you like onto your Chill board (and Facebook and/or Twitter if you want!) for you and your friends to view and share on.

A great concept that’s developing a growing following, click here to watch some cool videos on Chill.

Need I say any more!? One Hour Per Second is an infographics lover’s dream, as it takes you on an entertaining, graphic trip through some really unbelievable statistics about the volume of videos uploaded to Youtube every second, minute, hour and day. Watch the preview below, and click here to see this. You’ll be missing out if you don’t!

Dogs in Cars is an utterly charming 5 minute video created by the rather talented Keith Hopkin, starring Man’s very own best friend.

Bad Lip Reading – Honestly there isn’t much for me to say here except, for goodness sake, if you’re interested at all in the current Republican candidate race, watch some of the videos on this oh so clever Tumblr blog!

The one below is Herman Cain. Watch it, see if you find it as amusing as we did in the All My Faves HQ, and then click here to get to videos of other famous political (or musical) personalities.

I personally recommend watching the soundbites of Ron Paul, Rick Perry & Mitt Romney for the politicos; and if you want to see Michael Buble taking an, erm, interesting new musical direction, there’s a great video on there for you too… I’m confident you’ll like this 🙂

Dear reader,

This may actually be the nicest place on the internet! I don’t want to give too much away about it… All I’ll say is that first, you need the sound on (or headphones in if you’re having a break at work); and second, make sure your internet is quick enough to play short Youtube videos.

I’ve just spent five minutes on it, and I think I may have stumbled upon one of the most sincerely sweet websites I’ve seen in a long, long time. It’s lovely and I GUARANTEE you’ll be sporting a nice wide smile because of it. Click here to go to the nicest place on the internet! Especially recommended if you’re feeling a bit down.

Lots of love,

All My Faves 🙂

Find video that interests you, and you alone!

Frequency – There’s just so much interesting video content floating around the internet on any given moment, on any given day. And that means it’s really easy to miss a heck of a lot of good stuff! Stuff that gets posted on Facebook or Twitter by your friends or people you follow; stuff that gets posted on news websites (of which there are far too many to browse through in one go…); or just random, funny videos that get posted by random, funny people on Youtube.

And that’s where Frequency comes to the rescue.

Color – The makers of this cool little iPhone and Android app are heralding what they call the new type of Facebook status update. And they’re right, it is new. And it really is cool!

I love Lady Gaga. I want to watch all of her concerts. Unfortunately, I’m invariably either too poor or too far away to actually go to them. But now these inconvenient truths no longer matter, because I have Switchcam!

It’s video chat. It’s Facebook. And no it’s not the Skype-Facebook tie up that’s been hyped up for the past few months, only to turn out to be one of the biggest damp squibs since Barack Obama’s first Presidential term. Folks, this is Rounds, and it’s actually fun!

More than just a simple video call, which you can do on regular Skype or Facetime (if, unlike me, you’re lucky enough to own a new iPhone!), Rounds recognizes that when you’re on Facebook, you’re not just interested in simply talking. You’re probably also looking at Youtube videos; you’re playing a free online game; or you’re checking out what your friends have been up to recently (“stalking” for those of you unfamiliar with the Facebook lingo!).

And they’ve come up with a really lovely idea: to allow you to video chat to your friends, and at the same time, share a mini-window allowing you to co-browse all those things together. So you literally can play a game together with one of your friends, while video chatting, on the same screen, on Facebook! Watch the video below to see some of the latest multiplayer games you can play on Video Chat Rounds:

The Museum of Obsolete Objects – Did you ever think that the floppy disk was the most amazing thing you’d ever seen? Come on now, own up, I know at least some of you did! I never did, but then according to this clever Youtube channel, I was only 7 years old when it became obsolete!

The Museum is a stylish, sci-fi style selection of videos “from the future”; narrated by a strange, computerized character that talks about objects that have apparently become obsolete with time and innovation. Objects like radios, tapes and calculators. I did say apparently! So get your sci fi head on, watch the video below, and then click here to go to the Museum of Obsolete Objects.

Arcade Fire’s Sprawl II – One of the songs from Arcade Fire’s amazing Grammy Award-winning album, The Suburbs, has now been turned into an interactive music video where us lucky viewers get to actually direct the content, using a webcam or mouse.
