Dare I admit it, but I'm currently obsessed with this young lady called boxxybabee and her webcam antics on YouTube. Boxxy was a meme's and 40+ video responses as well as mashup/remixes
As of January 14th boxxybabee holds the following status on YouTube :
#1 - Most Subscribed (This Week)
#2 - Most Subscribed (This Month)
#19 - Most Viewed (This Week)
But is she just too good to be real? Is this merely a recruitment phase to something bigger - are we witnessing another lonelygirl15?
Or is Boxxy just simply another teen with a webcam looking for attention? It's not the first time a forum user has emerged as a cult celebrity. Previously a girl by the name of 'cracky-chan' achieved a cult following on image board 4chan.org when she posted a number of photo's of herself through 2005-2006.
Queensland Tourism Offers The Best Job in the World
It's not often you see a tourism campaign that creates such an amount of buzz. All for the right reasons.
Tourism Queensland's latest promotion "The Best Job In the World" is offering a 6 month blogging/caretaker job for A$150k salary has been picked up the world over. Here on the BBC
Owning the term "best job in the world" on Google is quite a feat in itself. What I love about the campaign is it creates awareness of Queensland and it's fantastic weather, it a promotion with an amazing prize that you want to share and once it's all over you end up with 6 months worth of blog entries from an eager winner.
"They will also have access to and report on visits to all the Great Barrier Reef islands that run from Cairns to Bundaberg.
"How would it be if you were suffering the current harsh Winter in New York, Paris and London to be able to escape and work somewhere as amazing as the Great Barrier Reef."
Applications are open until February 22. Eleven shortlisted candidates will be flown to Hamilton Island in early May for the final selection process and the six month contract will commence on July 1.
The campaign will run in the Australian domestic market and 10 key international markets, making it Tourism Queensland's first truly global campaign."
This is one of those areas where the web really proves it's worth. (Making up for Star Trek fan fiction, Jonas Brothers pic-laden MySpaces and geocities homepages).
