Love those dance videos by the way.

The frivolous one first. I found some odd links to my vids, one was an ask.com search page for photography by Emmett Till where someone had got the spelling wrong using my version of Emmet. Another was randomly from a band's myspace http://www.myspace.com/neutickles The serious one is one the question of 'What is a high number of views?'. I know it wasn't the point you were making but 2,500 for example isn't a lot at all. Also keywords play a role. This video, by a friend of a friend, had relatively small views until they fiddled with the keywords and has gained over 2 million views in less than 14 months. I always think of this vid when I see people going on about fantastic viewing stats for corporate vids where they have 10,000 or so. As a rough estimate I feel that you ain't 'Big Time' until you breaking 100k. Two points, one frivolous and one serious.
