The Viral Factory released their latest video for Samsung earlier this month and it’s already had over 3.6 million views so far.

Yesterday Brain Pickings posted about News21, an organization exploring new forms of investigative journalism. Since 2006, they have sent teams of journalism students out to not only report on an issue, but to immerse themselves in the lives of the people they are reporting on.

Today I watched the Twitter movie trailer, a parody of the upcoming Facebook movie that tells the story of the popular website’s young founders. It seemed crazy to me at first to have a feature film about Facebook’s roots when it’s not that old of a company. Maybe a documentary – but a glorified, big [...]
