Undergrad Class Election Videos Once Again Get Creative

It's student election season at UPenn and my facebook feed is loaded with lots of "Vote [insert name] for [insert position]!" tweets.

As I mentioned in my posts from last year, some of the more proactive candidates are really getting creative with how they are promoting themselves.  It is no longer enough to just canvas the campus and the kiosks with flyers.

It's now all about facebook election posts, groups and videos!

Check out 2 informative, creative and humorous campaign videos I've seen so far from Matt Amalfitano (C'11) for College Rep and Mo Shahin (C'11) for Treasurer.

More info and "more standard" videos from all the candidates on the DP site HERE

The Truth About Twitter

Over the past couple of months the whole notion of Twitter has really blown up and between Twitter and Facebook, everyone can basically communicate to everyone else instantly what they're doing or thinking at that moment.

Personally, I've only been using my Twitter page to communicate the latest Penn news and occasionally my opinions about some TV shows... but I'm (gulp) beginning to see the addicting quality to it. In the near future, I'll probably also use Twitter to share some cool, useful (not necessarily Penn related) and free tech sites and products on the web.

I think the video above really and hysterically nails this Twitter revolution down PERFECTLY!

...My favorite lines used as tweet examples in the above video:

• "I'm watching TV with my cat" and 
• "Just found a parking space"

Rejected From Penn: The Burning of the Letter (VIDEO)

Apparently, this past week some "Penn-hopeful" high school students have had the luck of the Irish, while others, well, ...not so much.

Over the past week, I've been seeing lots of "got into Penn!" and "damn you Penn!" type tweets in my Twitter feed.

It's one thing when you're accepted into Penn (click HERE to see a 2012 acceptance letter being opened, as well as my own acceptance letter).

But it's a whole ball of wax when you're not accepted, yet put on the "waiting list". Check out this great video below to see what I'm talking about...

While this video was probably taken sometime last April, it still holds up. I wonder if this kid ever got taken off the wait list. Anybody?

If any newly admits from the Class of 2013 have a video of him/herself opening his/her Penn admissions letter, upload it HERE!
