If you want your friends to look at something, just post a link on your gchat away message. That is how I got sucked into staring at puppies for half an hour.

Free live streaming by Ustream

I am hesitant to call this a viral video for two reasons. First, that term was invented by a marketing hack somewhere and now my grandmother uses it. The term "viral video" ranks right up there with "bling bling" and "cyberspace." Second this doesn't really follow the same format as chocolate rain or dramatic chipmunk. Puppy cam is a live stream of Shiba Inu puppies that starts broadcasting at 9:30 am. There are 3 pups of each gender and they are about 6 weeks old. They wear different color collars and you can get the whole roster here. Just know that Akoni in the black is a badass and rules the kennel. If he could talk he would sound exactly like Jules Winnfield.

WOOF!

I am not going to lie, it isn't action packed and this isn't a Stephen Hawking lecture. They spend most of their time sleeping and shifting around to do more sleeping. However, there is a rare moment or two when they go puppy crazy and things get nuts. If you are the impatient type, or don't want to be caught gawking at puppies for extended periods of time there are some highlight clips.

So if you are looking for a slice of internet that is so sugar sweet it might give you cavities, check out puppy cam. While you are there you can check out the rest of Ustream.tv's offerings.

PS: I am going to start calling this a "strep stream." Yeah it's a play on words.
