A three star Porn Video ?

What happens when you take three people who are already YouTube "stars", add the word porn, plus access totality of over 4.5 million subsribers?

In the cliposphere the "The Station" shows this means close to half a million views in a day (and comments by the thousand)... but does it make any sense?

Of course it does - the ability to pop any clip into the top of the ratings (#3 most viewed today) at will; that's worth real money.

Fly Swatting clips

In the cliposphere "fly swatting" is rife. It seems that globally important events like the devastation of world records, the rise of talents, homages to all to all time greats and much more are increasingly un-available.

The latest million view clip no sooner reaches that level (showing global interest and appreciation) to then vanish from the cliposphere.

As the world struggles to get itself out of the mire of economic disaster and people like broadcasters and creative types lament their inability to make money; their failure to enjoy from some of the most glaringly logical and obvious commercial benefits and income streams that are there for the taking is rather curious.

Making a clip "scarce" may increase its value, if it's a song or a performance, however where it's a human being running for less than 10 seconds it remains somewhat hard to fathom the approach.

Stacy Solomon "3 million minutes of fame"

With a million plus views 19 yr old Stacy Solomon, single mother/student from Dagenham singing “What A Wonderful World”, is now known globally within a week.

The cliposphere sees a million views that fast for only one reason; there's something more going on than just a regular talent show appearance. This girl has already secured a decent future singing if she wants it. No matter what happens in the competition she will now be able to take her, what seems less than 15 minutes of fame, and leverage it.

As clip lengths vary - at around 3 minutes - that's over 3,000,000 minutes of fame or 200,000 times her 15 min. quota!

100m Usain Bolt World Record 1 million view day

Sport can and does still pull down major numbers on YouTube and in the Cliposphere with over 1 million views alone of the new 100m world record for Usain Bolt; Berlin proves running is no exception.

The language of the clip is Dutch which shows a continued thirst for content globally fighting with limited availability of content and an evident mis-match. I can't embed the best video of the race however the link to that, which has an English soundtrack, is below:

This clip powered Universal Sports to #2 most viewed Director for the day and #3 most viewed Partner coming in at #11 most viewed for the day.


Otherwise just enjoy the race; the language is hardly important!
