Other facts
[edit]- Did you know that...
- Sometime between 2004-2006, the otherwise unnoticeable page on YouTube on Crewscut.com (now NotatWiki) generated a massive 200.000+ hits, which made one think one or two things about how the internet works. This happened approximately at the time, when all Danes started searching for YouTube online, because of a lot of press coverage.
