One of the recent Internet FADS is texts from dog! All it involves is people adding a contact in there phone called Dog and have a conversation via text! People then take a screenshot of the conversation and upload it to the Internet, normally Facebook and twitter! Again just like the majority of things on the Internet at the moment you are probably thinking it sounds stupid but these are surprisingly funny as its what you imagine a conversation like a dog would be.
Take a look at some of the best texts from dog!

#Music
#Music is Twitters venture into the music side of social media. The new app which was launched this week lets the user delve into the music that is popular on twitter and also what their friends are listening to.
The app lets you instantly listen to a song from the artist inside the app through your spotify, itunes or Rdio. The app has four parts to it. Firstly, the Twitter Charts, this is where the most popular music lives. However, in terms of discovering music, this part is useless as its looks like a rundown of the top 40. The emerging chart is much more useful for people looking to increase their musical knowledge which gives you a chart of new music based on who you follow on twitter. There is also a suggested tab but this is too similar to the emerging chart and therefore not as good. Also you can listen to tracks by artists you already follow in the final tab.
So what are Paddy's thoughts on this app. Well, the emerging chart is very good and the other tabs to serve a purpose. However, this is only as enjoyable with a Spotify subscription and therefore not everyone can use it. Will this be a new part of social media or will it just be another fad. We will just have to wait and see.

OK GO!: Music Video Fad!
In the big bad world of the music industry, it is sometimes hard for a band to be noticed, firstly, by a record label,but also by the general public. Sometimes they might go for a gimmick like they all being from the same family a la The Corrs or be The White Stripes and have the weird dilemma of them either being brother and sister or married, MAD I KNOW!
However, one band took the route of having interesting and out of this world kind of videos. Their debut song A Million Ways was the first in a long line of videos. The video concept was the band in the one of the members back garden doing a dance routine and it only took one take.

Their second video was probably their most famous and involved the use of treadmills where again a dance routine was created but this time the added danger of the treadmills was added to make the video a lot cooler and much more popular
The bands popularity was so high with all their millions of views on You Tube that they even collaborated on a music video with The Muppets!
Their popularity seems to have died down as the Internet moves away from OK GO but we will always have the memories of the dancing and the treadmills!

Hello, yes this is...
Most memes hang about the internet for a few weeks and then fall off the earth into the black hole of irrelevant drivel; however some memes become living legends and become bigger than the internet. One of these is the Hello, yes this is dog meme which become one of the most recognised memes on the internet and grew a few sister memes from it like Hello this is horse and also add ons to the original. A very simple formula which has resulted in very funny results.

Charlie Bit My Finger
In May 2007 a video was uploaded to YouTube which features two brothers Harry Davies-Carr and Charlie Davies-Carr. In the video you see the two brothers sitting on a chair and Harry puts his finger into Charlie's mouth and gets bitten. From the description of the video yous are probably thinking whats the big deal?! Exactly my thoughts when I heard what it was about but when you actually see the video you cant help saying 'aww' at the cuteness of it. The video was uploaded by the two boys father Howard Davies-Carr to show their godfather who lives in America, he had no idea the the video would go viral. And by viral I mean the video has had half a billion views.
Why not take a look at the video and see what all the fuss is about!

Be aware ladies... Don't do this at home..
This lovely girl, Tori Locklear was brought to the attention of a huge crowd after she published this credible tutorial last month about curling her hair, FAIL! Various newspapers all around the world published this cautionary tutorial and a fad was yet again born. Facebook, Twitter, blogs, newspapers etc. wherever you went, you couldn't miss this. Basically, its very simple, Miss Locklear is using a hot curling iron and all the sudden, her hair simply comes off. Take a look by yourself:
Poor girl. And you thought you had had a bad day? Think again. At-least you didn't burn your hair off... Well, luckily this brave young girl had enough of humor and even created a Facebook page for this phenomenon by herself after this tutorial had become popular. She wrote: "Hi I'm Tori Locklear! Yep, the girl who burned her hair off with the wand! That's me LOL :D"
Have a great week dear readers.
