Question of the Week: Karaoke
What song are you going to sign for The Great Google Buzz Scavenger Hunt? It can be a power ballad, rock'n'roll or something with a swing. I look forward to seeing your submissions and hearing your songs!
Let The Scavenger Hunt Begin!
Hello Universe!
On Saturday Morning, I launched 10 videos on YouTube for The Great Google Buzz Scavenger Hunt. Contestants have seven days to complete a series of 10 challenges using their digital cameras or camcorders, uploading their work onto Google Buzz.
The contest began at midnight on Saturday, August 14th and ends at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) on Friday, August 20th. Your challenges, if you chose to accept them, are as follows:
Pick yourself a mascot and find a location in your city or town that represents where you are. Take a picture or video with you and your mascot at your chosen location and then tell the Google Buzz community all about it. Let us know where you are, and why you're there. Does your site have a history? Is it famous in some way? Maybe it just has special meaning to you...whatever it is, let us know!
Challenge #2: Celebrity Look-A-Like
Do you, or somebody your know looks like someone famous? No? Well, go out and find someone! Find yourself a celebrity look-a-like, interview them and get their signature. If you can, try to get their life story, or the made-up life story of who they look like. Be creative!
What is the one thing in the world that can make you smile, even in the worst of times? Maybe its your family pet, or a setting sun. Whatever it is, whether its a specific object or just an abstract idea - film or photograph it and share it with the world! Then, let Google Buzz know what makes you happier then anything else.
Challenge #4: Halloween In August
It's time to get our your vampire costume! No, this isn't Twilight. It's Halloween! Dress up in a Halloween costume of your choice and go out into the public. Go door to door asking for candy, go to the grocery store, or go out to a club. Document your adventures and people's reactions to your scary (or sexy) outfit.
Did you think you could go through a whole scavenger hunt without trying to find something obscure? Think again! Go out and find someone (a friend or maybe a complete stranger) who owns a pink cellphone. Get a photo or video of you, the phone and it's owner. Then, share your story with the world. Happy searching!
Challenge #6: Monkey Brains Anyone?
Everyone has tried monkey brains before, right? Don't worry, this isn't Indiana Jones. In this challenge, I'll be asking you to go out for dinner, or be prepared to make a meal at home. Pick a style of food (Cantonese, Mexican, French) that you have never experienced before. Go out and try it, or try making a meal from scratch. Take your mascot with you and then report back on what you and your mascot thought of your meal.
Yoga. Kayaking. Fencing. Jogging. Cricket. There are a million different types of physical activities in the world. Pick one that you have never tried before. It can either be a group sport, or a solo activity, it doesn't matter. Document your experience with photos and videos and make sure to get active!
Challenge #8: Karaoke Night
"Somewhere, over the Rainbow..." It's time to hit the town and go out for a night of karaoke. Bring your mascot with you and get ready to sing a duet. It can be something funny, a heart wrenching ballad, or a rock and roll scream-fest. Just make sure you have fun with it, and be sure to bring back proof of your adventure to Google Buzz.
This next challenge comes in three parts. 1) Pick an outfit that has a story and tell it to us. Why is this outfit important to you? What makes it special? 2) Go through your closet and create your most outlandish and absurd outfit using your wardrobe. 3) Film a fashion show with items out of your closet. Share your style with the internet!
Challenge #10: Lights! Camera! Action!
In this challenge, you get to be the big-shot music video director. Check out YouTube's audio swap feature, pick a song and create yourself a music video. Once you've created your video, upload it to YouTube, go to www.youtube.com/editor and set your video to song. Live action, or animation, it doesn't matter - just have a blast!
