The viral will be about a new social media service called Loccit that has been described by one journalist as ‘the most intelligent web start-up since Wikipedia’.

Loccit is a Social media service that brings together an individual’s social networks to create a digital diary of users most valuable memories. Young people are diarising every day, just into dispersed sources. What they’re doing goes into the calendar or Twitter, emotions into Facebook, photos into Facebook or Flickr, location into Foursquare or GoWalla. Loccit combines all of those moments and gives the user back the diary they are already writing, but have never been aware of.

Loccit keeps memories safe. Forever.

We are searching for the next YouTube sensation to promote the service to the public. The world’s video is moving online and there are increasing opportunities for careers in creating YouTube and Vimeo content. We are looking forward to helping a group of young talented people start that career.

This is a chance for students to be creative and showcase their film making talent in a viral ad that Loccit hopes to broadcast to over 1 million viewers.

Loccit's video competition is now up and running, and further information can be found on the website below:
