Hitwise Called Soulja Boy's Success Back in May

Lynne d Johnson opens up at Black Web 2.0 with the topic of Soulja Boy's web marketing and Hitwise's early call on his success based on web traffic patterns.

Have to be honest, though, I hadn't really picked up on Lynne's huge interest in Souljah Boy's web game but it's communicated strongly and clearly in this case.

She also references an extended post at MIT's Convergence Culture Consortium titled Hustling 2.0: Soulja Boy and the Crank Dat Phenomenon with additional resources.

Blogger Xiaochang Li follows that post with "Meet me at my crib . . .": Reading the official "Crank That" video.
