Dancing around the world
Matt Harding had a smart dad. The NYT wrote about youtube's current phenom.
There are no weekend box office charts for online videos. But if there were, near or at the very top of the list right now might well be a four-and-a-half-minute video called "Dancing," which more than four million people have viewed on YouTube, and perhaps another million on other sites, in the just over two weeks since it appeared.
Of course, NYT doesn't include links or embeds so I had to go looking and found out that there are multiple versions of Matt Harding Dancing, shot at different times.

What's amazing is just how many different places Matt has travelled. I'm envious.
