Speaking of slow, I'm way slow to reply -- sorry.

All I was doing was typing the text into a Google search (with the quotes) and hitting enter. Then in the search results list the pops up, at the top it says something like "about xxx results" -- that is where I got my numbers.

Just now I typed "I catch the waves down in Africa" into Google again, and it has gone from 48 hits when I did the search originally to 22,500 now. Mostly from Google crawling Videosift and people blogging/tweeting/whatever about that thread here on the sift, I think. Even "I swing a mace down in Africa" is up to 107 hits.

Hey, I was wondering how you got the info for the Google search statistics. If this is very obvious, I'm sorry... I'm a little slow. lol

Thanks!

If you're gonna have a skillful channel on the Sift, you're gonna run into a helluva lot of debate about what's skillful and what isn't. The channel owner "reserve[s] the right as channel owner to remove any video based on gut feeling and pure subjective opinion." Honestly it's the most garbage channel on the site. @Deano should've had more foresight, or less hubris.

On a side note: For the life of me I cannot figure out why this isn't listed as skillful.

The proprietor tends to frown on music vids. He's skilled, but we've all heard much better beatbox.


That's like saying Babe Ruth wasn't a skillful baseball player because he couldn't run the bases as well as other players.

Agreed, his beatboxing skills aren't the best in the world. I was actually pointing out the fact that him doing so many different things really well was the reason for the skillful tag. Also, that comment was more of a compliment than a plea to change tags.
