YouTube fame and Friendships are an interesting thing. The video above is of two youtube musicians that are:

-in love, and

-in a YouTube focused band called Pomplamoose (they also have independent YouTube channels of their own)

The video posted above made it over 1.5 million views strong based on a combination of Twitter, Digg (and reddit), and word of mouth. I find it interesting that a single tweet by Ashton Kutcher effectively tripled the hits from their second most successful video.

Pomplamoose are now producing Julia Nunes, another popular youtube musician. Whose youtube success on this cover of Ben Folds’ Gone landed her the opportunity to open for him several for shows on his tour. Although I am partial to her Say Anything covers.

She was also most recently featured on popular internet comedy duo Jake and Amir. Who work on….coll…

I could keep going, but my point is that I find youTube fame and the relationships formed on it to be more interesting to follow than the plot lines on Bones.
