Rebecca Black - Friday! Love her or hate her....

Not so long ago a 13 year old girl called Rebecca Black made a video and posted it on Youtube - her song "Friday".  The response that then followed went viral - and somewhat out of control.

A torrent of abuse ensued against young Rebecca that included some death threats.  There are plenty of people out there who have there own opinion on her video, I for one actually quite like it.  Sure, it could do with a little bit of work, but overall is enjoyable.

There is no denying that publicity - good or bad - will have an influence on how viral and how many views a video on Youtube will reach.  As I'm writing this, Rebecca's "Friday" has enjoyed 54+ Million Views.

Not only has her video been an internet sensation, it has propelled her into the mainstream Limelight as well - from TV interviews and appearances to a cameo in Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" video.  In the video, Rebecca plays the role of cool and trendy next door neighbour to Katy's awkward character.

Do I think that any video spawned from The Platform Hub will reach 54 Million Views?  I'm not so sure.  But if we even reach a small percentage of that would make it all worthwhile.

So, what are you waiting for?  A written invitation?  Well you have one - comment below or over on my Facebook Page or feel free to E-mail Me.
