Internet videos to vie for Daytime Emmys

Internet videos showing volcanic eruptions of Diet Coke will compete along with Web shorts featuring the cast of NBC's "The Office" in newly created categories for the upcoming Daytime Emmy Awards, reports the Associated Press.

"The New York-based organization teamed with the social networking Web site MySpace.com for the first time to solicit nominations from the public, resulting in the recognition of independent productions, as well as programs created by traditional TV networks.

This is only the second year the group has honored programs created for high-speed Internet, or broadband, connections. Last year, the first broadband Emmy was awarded to AOL for its 2005 Webcast of the worldwide "Live 8" concert.
