Do You Get Hangovers After Viruses?

Last week's Paul Potts video explosion was a major boon in terms of traffic and quality video -- and a refreshing change of pace from the previous Paris Hilton mania. After all, what would you rather read about four times in three days: an inspiring underdog taking the world by storm with the power of his voice, or, well, Paris Hilton? I also liked the part where the office was filled with opera for a few days. This job is full of perks, but high culture is typically not one of them.

However, the Britain's Got Talent winner hasn't been news for three days now, and no video has yet stepped up to pick up the viral slack. I should have seen this coming, though, as it always seems that after a big thing like Paul Potts goes viral, the Internet takes a few days off. Why? I don't know. Viral videos usually infect people with that gotta-share-it energy -- maybe they need a break afterwards?

In theory, I don't mind the break, especially since with the upcoming launch of ReeledIn we've got plenty of other stuff going on. But it's still a little weird. It wasn't that crazy a party, Internet -- so what's with the hangover?
