I saw a post from Lee the other day saying he was working on another video to follow up his roaring success on "RSS in Plain English," which basically went gold. Says Lee:
The video was posted on April 23rd, 2007. Today is May 28th and in just over a month the video has been...
- Viewed over 80,000 times across three hosts (Blip.tv, YouTube and DotSub)
- Translated into 9 languages (subtitles)
- Commented on 160 times (across sites)
- Dugg 975 times
- Added to Del.icio.us 795 times
- Linked-to over 680 times (says Technorati)
Not bad. It did a ton for his blog as well, adding over 400 subscribers, etc. My thinking was, he really hit the nail on the head in terms of finding the right topic--well-known but not well understood technology, explained in a fun, understandable way. A home run.
I wondered to myself whether he'd be able to duplicate that success with an equally compelling topic. And--does it matter, or does one huge success, sustained with more-modest follow-up, get the job done?
And here's the next installment, "Wikis in Plain English."
Lee's really having fun with this, obviously. It'll be fun to see the response.
