how big is BIG?

A week ago, before heading out to Dan Diego for the DEMO fall 2007 conference I did a quick Google search on the term "scenecaster". I got less than 200 results (before we launched the public Beta). Honestly most of those results came from functional tests we were doing to make sure that SceneCaster worked appropriately. So, I did the same search 2 days ago. I was amazed to find a bit over 10,000 results. From nothing to a fairly substantial number of results in a very short period of time. I tried again a day ago and got 22,000 results. I would have been totally blown away by those results had I not tried again today and found 54,000 results in a bit over 25 hours after the previous results... This just blows my mind. This is an illustration of the power of the viral aspect of the internet as we know it. If I assume that this trend continues and project forward 10 days, we will be at 54 million pages referring to SceneCaster. Pretty wild! Excuse me while I go order a lot of new servers....
