Cisco Intern Rapper Beware! Here's a Challenge From Yahoo Intern Dude.

Earlier this week, BoomTown posted a video from a rapping intern at Cisco (CSCO) named Greg Justice, who dubbed himself the “world’s most interesting intern.”

The claim prompted another intern from Yahoo (YHOO), Rich Yueh, to send me a very good video he made in 2007, which won an internal video contest at the Internet giant.

Plus a challenge: “Feel free to post this as a followup to the original article. BoomTown and Greg Justice may see a formal response later in the summer. :)”

I love a good intern war!

Enjoy:

    2007, Yahoo?!! that's like a million years ago in interweb years…how about a fresh one?

    and, clearly, the people have already voted on a winner here. Cisco by a mile. 300 views on their 3-year-old video versus 30,000 on our 3-day-old video…

    bring it, interns of the world! : )

    thanks for playing, kara. summertime and the living is easy…

    Hi John-

    The video was uploaded last night. It was originally an internal production only. I've received many requests for a 2010 update so be on the lookout for that. This oldie is simply to tide people over.

    Nice try for a newbie, however, when it comes to rapping Cisco stuff, well, I’m sorry to say, Greg's got some tough competition to beat.

    How so?

    Why I’m talking about none other than rap virtuoso and Cisco rap video star, Mix Master Mitch:

    With tongues planted firmly in cheek, a couple of Intellectual Ventures interns whipped something together Friday afternoon.

The joke now is what’s the first tech company that we acquire. I hear AOL’s going pretty cheap.
