How did you find out about Minecraft?

[Apple]

Minecraft is growing so fast, just take a loot at the statistics page to see how many people play it and have bought it. Every time you refresh the page the number of people that have bought it usually goes up...

So how did you find out about it? I think Minecraft has a lot to owe to youtube, loads of people are discovering it through youtube every day.

I found out about it through word of mouth on hxf but it still makes me wonder how everyone on hxf found out about it since it's still in the early stages of development and isn't really advertising anywhere. If it wasn't for here I'd of probably never know that it existed.

I saw it posted a few time on Google Buzz but didn't really notice it properly until a friend mentioned it and told me a few things about it, then I had a play around with it when it was free to use for a week when the servers went down. When it came up I immediately got an account :)

This forum. I still have yet to take a look at it; maybe this weekend since I have nothing planned.

Um, saw it somewhere online, checked Youtube. Watched the entire X's Adventures series, then pirated it for a few days before buying it :)
