It just deserves to be seen...

Well done EA sports, awesome:

1 Million views in 2 days...wow

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?

Personal favourite:

meme: Inspirational communicators

Ged has tagged me on the latest meme to find inspirational communicators. So far names include; Steve Jobs, Muhammed Ali , Big Winston, Banksy and Wadds Grandad!

I thought I would take the literal route and go for the big 3; Telephone, Internet and Email.

Alexander Graham Bell for beating Elisha Gray to the patent office and starting the ball rolling for long distance (not initially mind) voice communications.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee the man behind the WWW, might not have been the same if it wasn't royalty-free!

'The Email' it actually pre-dates the Internet by 25 years! Now a staple of most of our lives, I have at least 4 email addresses!

On a personal note I would got with two teachers; Andy Corcoran, my inspirational advertising professor from Uni and Mr D'Angelo - I have never seen someone with such a passion for Maths!

I am going to tag Robin, Paul and a very quiet Daljit

Another award!

Only two months after winning the 'North East Digital Awards' for 'Best Use of Emerging Technology' we have only gone and done it again in our birth place! This time we have won the innovation award at the Lincolnshire Echo Business Awards. Again it was the Social Media News Release that caught the judges eye.
