I'll share.
My videoblog has been around since Nov. 2004 and has had a long time
to build up what following it  has. Certainly there are videoblogs out
there with many times the number of viewers as mine but these numbers
are like a miracle to me. According to Feedburner, I have between 350
- 375 subscribers which is how it seems that most people view my
videos since Google Analytics says I get about 60 unique visits on
average to my website each day. So I'm guessing by this and by the
comments that I get that it's mostly you guys, other videobloggers,
who watch my videos.

According to my blip.tv stats, over the last 28 days my videos have
been downloaded 5,564 times but about 500 of those have been for a
video from 7 months ago that was on the front page of Digg and is
still getting views. So if you subtract that out, my videos get about
180 downloads a day.

Of my videos from the last month, the one with the most views is the
one of Rupert ordering pancakes, which has 825 so far. My Lumiere
video, "Partly Cloudy" has 229 downloads. Usually, after about 3 or 4
months my videos end up with anywhere from 900 - 1200 downloads.

And when you put this into context with other things that I've done it
really is amazing. For example, a number of times I've worked for
months and spend hundreds of dollars making a short film and have had
100 or 150 people see it. The biggest live audience I've had is at big
public event with tons of other "acts" - that was nearly 300 people.
And when I look at the theater stuff I've done it makes this look even
more amazing. Probably the biggest theater piece I was ever in was one
of my first. Close to 2 dozen people worked on it all told. It went
through numerous works-in-progress versions over a 2 year period and
had dozens of performances in all of it's incarnations. All together
I'd have to estimate that it was seen by about 1800 people. Which is
just about as many times as a 23 second video I made of a light post.
Yes, a light post. Like I said, this is like a miracle to me.
