Susan Boyle gets Susan Boyle-er

I would bet that at least half of you have seen this video that has seemed to sweep the U.S. this past week.

Susan Boyle on Britains Got Talent

I think the stats of this video are pretty incredible. It went up on youtube only 8 days ago, and it already has seen 30 million views and counting. I wish there was someway to see how many views a given video had at various times of various days. I remember on Tuesday when I saw this video at about noon it had 3 million views. I showed it to my roommate 2 hours later and it had 5 million some, and my the end of the day it had almost 9 million views.

I'm sure (although unfortunately I have no way of knowing) that the view count of this video has a 'Power Law' trend as we discussed in class. Just another example of a viral youtube video.

The rich get richer. The popular videos get popular-er. Susan Boyle gets Susan Boyle-er.
