YouTube's fastest rising star
I don't know if you've linked into this yet but this "Leave Britney Spears Alone alone video, has been insanely popular. I'm not a fan of hers, or defending this guy's rant, and free speach says let him rant.. why not! I'm not particularly interested in spreading the video either.
The reason I'm writing about it, is that it's view count is going up incredibly quickly. This video was uploaded yesterday (Sept 11, 2007) When I first saw it on YouTube at 10:30am EST, it already had about 1.4 million views. I checked again now at 6:40 pm EST, and it has 2,317,638 views, with 41,266 comments been favorited 5,940 times, and 575 video responses. Keep in mind that YouTube's most popular video of some dude dancing has just over 36+ million views. Way to go Chris Crocker!
Check out YouTube's "YouTube :: Most Viewed Videos - Today" list.
The closest is Kanye West's breakdown, with a measly 834,663 views.
So to recap (approx as I don't know what it started with):
2,317,638 views in 24 hours
96,568 per hour
737,638 views in the last 8 hours
56 commnets per hour
100 favorited per hour
Wow! indeed...
