Just Shy Of 12,000 Views On Our Video – Not Too Shabby

Alexis Ohanian | Mar 08, 2008 | View Comments

Thursday’s launch of the breadpig site went about as well as I could have hoped. The YouTube video got some pretty good traction and we already started selling a slew of shirts.

We got a few gig requests — bar mitzvahs even — that I can safely say were all fake (although fairly amusing).

The biggest surprise of the week was getting a link from a friend (thanks, Adam) alerting me to the story on Kotaku.

I also got a number of complaints from friends of mine who saw the glaring (intentional) misspellings of Einstein and Galileo on my “bio.” No one took the part about the “tribal bass guitar tattoo” seriously. Shrug.
