TED Talk Tuesday #3 2015

Hi Everyone,

I couldn't pass up the chance to show this TED Talk to you.

Kevin Allocca is YouTube's trends manager (that means he gets paid to watch YouTube videos all day!), and he has deep thoughts about silly web video. In this talk from TEDYouth, he shares the 4 reasons a video goes viral.

Here is the link.  I wonder if anyone here has the desire to become viral?

Enjoy,

Mrs. Roberti
