			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It wasn&#8217;t long ago when I was just blown away at how some of the Yahoo Groups had taken off and had tens of thousands of members. Now I get the same feeling of awe with certain <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/extremeezine" target="_blank">YouTube videos</a>. I&#8217;m not talking about the heavily promoted videos like political campaign promotions or those videos like Susan Boyle on British Idol that has been on every news broadcast for days. I&#8217;m talking about truly viral videos. Check out these stats (as of 9am Apr. 19, 2009) and tell me what blogger wouldn&#8217;t envy the numbers:</p>

Can you believe these numbers? Just incredible! Oh yeah, don&#8217;t even get me started on the whole 248,116 subscribers thing. I wonder if I could get her to wear my &#8216;<a title="Get Extreme!" href="http://extremeezine.com/" target="_blank"><em>Get Extreme</em></a>&#8216; t-shirt in her next video <img src='http://briandhawkins.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
