Have you ever met Fred? He is a YouTube sensation, his latest video has got over 1 million views in 2 days = Wow.
His channel, www.youtube.com/user/Fred, has:
Subscribers: 429,688
Channel Views: 10,529,653
There is a commercial investor behind the man (boy - Lucas Cruikshank - 14!), a IM wireless device called Zipit. Guessing they are pretty chuffed with the total of 77 million viewers of all of the Fred videos!
More info:
"Lucas has also scored a five-figure sponsorship deal with the makers of a wireless messaging device called Zipit - so he's augmenting his virtual fame with some real cash."
The Zipit device doesn't get featured in the last 2 video's and neither does Fred's Zipit web link - www.fredonzipit.com. So maybe it has gone a bit pear shaped?
