 Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 11:02 pm Post subject: Why is Egoboo so popular in Poland? |
  |
|
I've always wanted to ask one question: why is Egoboo so popular in Poland? Yesterday I checked out my best video, my first Egoboo trailer made in 2006, which has 29,500 views. I went to the Insight option, a youtube feature that shows you statistics and locations where people visit most frequently. This was strange, since I uploaded the video, it started having an average of 5 views per day... But suddenly, on the 13th of February 2007, it went UP to 65 views per day... LOL and you know what? There is a world map that shows you with colours where people visit the most. Poland was completely HIGH and the rest of the countries where totally LOW, some of them, like the United States, were to the lowest. How come I get 65 views daily from Poland? Not that I dislike Poland, I really do like Poland, but that's a bit strange  Also, I remember www.egoboo.org .. A Polish version of the site! That was probably one clue...

Yeah, Egoboo has always been HUGE in Poland.
I knew about that Egoboo site too. Apparently it's expired, though.
You're never able to know how these things start. That's just how it is.
I wonder if they're developing Egoboo too?
It's a shame someone can't translate our English version. It might be better than whatever they have....

Aaron and Benjamin are polish. That is why. There is a polish translation of Egoboo out there too. In addition many polish sites are up to date with Egoboo.

They live in the US though.
Ben teaches in... Virginia, I think.

Really? I didn't know that, huh! I'm thinking of visiting Poland one day, I also want to learn Polish... Seems like 4 languages is not enough to me  Anyway, Polish is similar to Russian and German. Pronunciation is not a problem for me when it comes to learning languages... I can even pronounce Chinese! (no kidding)

I'm not sure if it is. It was a wild guess It makes sense if it is true.

You're not sure if what is what?
Oh, I get it! You LIED! They're not Polish! They're Hungarian!
Actually, only Aaron is!
The rest of his family is Mongolian!
...Even though that's a logical impossibility!
Unless he was adopted!
I'm ending too many sentences with exclamation points!
