Jessie and I were discussing YouTube statistics on the phone last week. It was just a conversation. But then we realized that it was a lot of fun and was something that we should post for all to see. After all, YouTube is a world stage, and to see who is playing well in various countries is a hoot. Who would of imagined that Chuck Mead was huge in Portugal? He is a giant killer there!

There are several ways to break this out. But we like the category percent of engagement. That means that persons viewing the video are watching it more than once. They are rating it and commenting on it as well. This category is akin to teenage boy hanging a poster of Paris Hilton on his bedroom wall.
