How do you find the latest hot web videos? Are there people who sit around all day just scouring the web for the next “leave Britney alone” YouTube star? Believe it or not, the answer is yes.
There are websites that act as a concierge recommending what’s hot in viral video. The New York Times featured an article of these cyber-curators.
