Hello,

My name is Eric Skaggs. I am a veteran, IUP graduate and website and app developer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

They call me "The YouTube Guy" because I am one of the cofounders of YouTube.

I gave Chad Hurley the entire idea for YouTube from domain name to exit strategy and everything in between in exchange for a promise from him to me of one percent of the now $140 billion company or $1.4 billion.

I am now working on a work from home freelancing and fundraising website and app that is very successful called BuckGet.

Please read "I Invented YouTube : The Real YouTube Story" by Eric Skaggs. And please join BuckGet.

I would love for you to do a story about how we started YouTube and how it led me to starting BuckGet.

And if you can help me get the $1.4 billion I was promised, I will give you $140 million.

Does that sound fair?
Eric
