Diddy Got More Responses For Personal Assistant On YouTube Than CNN Debate Questions

By Dylan on July 26, 2007 2:00 PM

Earlier this week, CNN issued a beaming press release trumpeting historic ratings for its YouTube debate experiment:

CNN continues the trend of record-breaking debates with Monday night’s CNN/YouTube Debate posting the highest P18-34 delivery in cable news history

To be sure, the numbers were impressive — 2,552,000 viewers is not “D*ck in a Box” (24,469,872) territory, but still — if not historic, and the debate generated as much attention as could be expected for mid-July (CNN.com reported 45.5 million page views 1.9 million videos served on Monday). But let’s put the numbers in perspective (i.e. help CNN safely come down from its post-debate high) with a fun, if tangentially relevant, YouTube fact:

  • No. of questions submitted for CNN’s YouTube Debate: 2,989
  • No. of responses to Diddy’s YouTube call for an assistant: 10,000
