If you want attention on YouTube, use Iraq

Yesterday I started playing around with my XO Laptop and recorded a quick documents blurb for a book called Battleground Iraq. Much to my surprise and shock there have been 1,098 views since yesterday! There have not been comments nor ratings for this video, so I can’t objectively say what people see in it.

The video is low quality and not especially creative, so the only handy explanation I have for the high viewership is that people saw the title “DocsByte: Battleground Iraq” and assumed it was some sort of tirade for or against our occupation in Iraq.

I’ve got another XO powered video on a book not related to Iraq that I intend to post to YouTube this weekend. I expect it will have much lower stats, but I’ll keep you posted either way.
