To the applicants here. I'm using YouTube stats as a metric whether or not our application was read. We have 5 videos in the application: 1 team video that was watched by someone from YC; 3 videos about teams' past work - only one was watched from California in the last 10 days, and we can't be sure it's someone from YC because it's a public video; 1 video showing the proof of concept of our product - not watched. So…

As far as I know, the applications are scored as they are seen, the scores are averaged, and the top n% are invited. So you shouldn't read into the number of views you get.

I have no visits too, maybe we were so convincing the video was not necessary! :)

how productive is everyone today? my email client is getting a lot of attention and my dev. env. is not getting much use. LOL. Good Luck to all.

Don't worry too much, the emails usually start going out around 7PM Pacific so there's not much to do until that hour.
