Videosift brought ~30K votes to this video WITHIN A WEEK!

So I posted this terrible video to the 'sift about a week ago - since then it has amassed "36,590" views.

    I can't recall exactly how many votes it got before I sifted it, but I recall it was a few hundred - I only found the video because I was looking at American Idol "Worst Singing" videos and it showed up, and obviously thought it was ridiculous and I never should have seen it.

    I think the video is an interesting test case of the influence of VideoSift on the 'net, and who rides its success.

    There is no mention from these sites they saw it from Videosift.

    And this is only what I can tell from YouTube's stats, which give Videosift only 6,150 views of that total.

    Anyway, just sayin'.
