1. Australia’s Next Top Model – Final
Ouch… is the only word we can come up with when watching this painfully awkward clip of Australia’s Next Top Model’s final. By mistake Sarah Murdoch announces the wrong winner and then takes her sweet old time to correct the mistake. During which time poor Kelsey is already thanking her family and jury members for their support. Due to some trust issues the viral that was first launched (and got over 3 million views!) has been removed from YouTube, still , adding all virals containing this final clip- it’s probably the most viewed viral of the month!
2. 2 Guys 600 Pillows
The idea is fairly simple: 600 pillows and 2 guys. But who are they? Rhett and Link, best known for their T-Shirt Wars stop motion video. It was so successful that even McDonald’s asked them to make a T-shirt War video for them. And they have done it again, with “My Favorite Pillow”. The song is about two guys with six hundred pillows, singing and dancing while handling white pillows. The duo filmed the entire video to be played in reverse, and everything is cooler when it`s done backwards! This video promotes sleepbetter.org. It was launched on September 14th and has so far 2.641,646 views.
3. Mozilla Seabird 2D
Mozilla known for the browser Firefox and email client Thunderbird also has a special department: Mozilla Labs Concept Series. It is a special department where ideas, expertise and vision of the web are being shared in the open forum. The concept phone Seabird is their latest project. Billy May made it with the direct feedback of the Mozilla community! The video is almost 2 weeks live and already has over 1.6 million views and there is even a 3D version.
4. Like A Good Boy
This video has no commercial purpose, but that doesn’t stand in the way of going viral. This video was made by Niga Higa (the protagonist) and his crew ‘The Yabo Crew’. Niga Higa is a comedian from Hawaii named Ryan Higa. Ryan Higa and the Yabo Crew produce funny videos and they push these videos on their own Youtube channel. Ryan Higa is hardly known outside Youtube. But within Youtube he is very successful. His own Youtube channel has nearly three million fans and 6 days after this video has been released it has almost 2.4 million views.
5. Google Search With My Location: Pizza
“An online video should be no longer than 1,5 minutes.” Well Google doesn’t really agree and produced a 10.11 minute long video.
To promote the new Google mobile feature Google broke all the unwritten rules regarding online video. And it seems to be working for them. The video shows a man looking for a pizza place where ever he is, using the voice controlled mobile feature. You no longer need to type a location, just talk into your phone to find the product or service you’re after. Although the video is only live since the 21st of September it already has over 250.000 views. I especially like the part where he says pizza 
6. Tiger Love
OK, This video doesn’t have that many views, but we think this is really important. So this WNF video is this week’s Viral Friday bonus.
It is the year of the tiger, that’s why WNF wants to make people aware that there are only 3.200 tigers roaming this Earth. And this number is declining rapidly because people and roads are taking over their territory and there are less cute animals for them to feed on. So we are asking all our Dutch readers kindly to put your best paw forward and to become a member of the WNF Hyves.

Hi,

Get ready for the birth of the second child.
Your first baby brought into your life the enormous amount of love and delight, and now you are waiting for another child. Albeit you experienced pregnancy and labor previously, you now have added more responsibilities and considerations to get ready for your second baby.
First of all you need to help your older child to understand what to expect, and try to explain to him the changes that are going to occur with this joyous event.
However, bringing up two children can be extremely difficult at first, your time will be restricted, and you will have plenty things to do. Time for sleep and meal will lessen and usually will depend on the age of your older child. What you really able to do is to get organized before the second baby is born.
Don’t be surprised if during your second pregnancy you may be more tired than during the first one, as caring for your older child when pregnant actually takes a lot of time and energy. The first six to eight weeks after the birth can be very frustrating, as your main job will be trying to get your second baby on a feeding and sleeping schedule, while actively anticipating your older child’s needs and changing emotions.
There are as well few positive changes, with the birth and nursing of the second baby you will acquire confidence in your own abilities, knowledge, and experience, moreover, stuff that seemed so hard with your first child, like breastfeeding, changing diapers, handling illness appears to be much easier this time. However, you should clearly understand that bringing home a new baby will affect you physically and emotionally. Increased exhaustion and soft anxiety will be your normal state after having the second child.
Note that, if you and your partner notice that you’re rarely spending time together go and have an occasional date once things settle down.
