An Interesting Test

  Hi Guys,
  
  About 12 hours ago I uploaded a short clip from TV featuring the Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds dropping a streaker on his back using his shoulder.
  
  As a test, I wanted to see what kind of traffic this got, knowing that it would be big news in Australia and other parts of the cricketing world.
  
  Here's the stats so far (after only 12 hours):

  Pretty incredible for such a young video.
  
  Obviously I haven't done anything amazing here, just used a good title and a good set of tags. I did this just out of curiousity, and it shows that hitting the right cord, at the right time, produces a result.
  
  Can I monetize this, not really, but that isn't why I did it. I just thought the stats would be interesting and I wanted to share.
  
  I'll update these figures over the next few days.
  
  Cheers,
  Nez
