It’s always great to see videos go viral that celebrate the talents of a person or group of people. Dance crew The Company is a recent benefit of this, with a routine that not only caught the eye of a ton of Internet viewers, but also earned them a second-place finish at a prestigious contest.

A YouTube milestone: PSY’s “Gangnam Style” hit 2 billion views, maintaining its throne as the most watched YouTube video ever. Google celebrated by creating an easter egg that triggers when clicking the animated Psy. Continue reading
