It’s time for another Viral Round Up—our weekly look at the latest viral success stories as we attempt to reverse engineer them to see what made them work.

I’m at the Streaming Media West conference today in San Jose, CA and thought I would attempt some live blogging from this morning’s session titled, “Successful Content Syndication and Aggregation Strategies.”
We all have video cameras or video-capable mobile phones and that means new ways to see what’s happening in the world. Not only for you but for others as well. We get a eyewitness views of the events as they unfold and now, we can do it through YouTube.

For the first time in the history of this important conference, everyone will be able to watch parts of the conference live, both here on ReelSEO (below) as well as on Streamingmedia.com, courtesy of livestream. Coverage will start today with the opening keynote from Bill Stone, president of FLO TV at 12 p.m. EST/9 a.m. PST.
