YouTube Presence

YouTube currently ranks among the top three most-visited sites on the web^[1]. As a high traffic area for video bloggers, or vloggers, YouTube has created a platform for these participants to present their personal videos, which oftentimes are filmed using hand held point and shoot cameras^[2]. The popularity of vlogs in the YouTube community has risen exponentially in the past few years; out of the top 100 most subscribed YouTube channels, 17 provide vlogs as their primary style of footage^[3]. Many of these vloggers are a part of the YouTube Partner Program, which professionalizes the industry and allows for monetary gain from video production. ^[4]

Guinness World Record

Charles and Alli Trippy from the Internet Killed Television YouTube Channel currently hold the Guinness World Record for the “Most Consecutive Daily Personal Video Blogs Posted On YouTube,” with 1,565 consecutive videos^[5].

VidCon

Hosted in Los Angeles, California, VidCon is an annual convention that allows YouTube content creators and viewers to come together^[6]. The first VidCon event was held on July 10 and 11th, 2010, and has now become the largest in-person gathering of internet creators, viewers, and representatives^[7].

Vlogumentary

I’m Vlogging Here is a 90 minute “vlogumentary” that focuses on documenting the world of video blogging and centers on YouTube vloggers that have found success in using this medium^[8]. Starring YouTube personality Shay Carl and his family of ShayTards, this film, to be released in late 2014, follows a family whose lives have been drastically altered by vlogging, as their day to day lives are documented and uploaded for the world to see. Shay Carl is a co-founder of Maker Studios, a YouTube based video supplier bought out by The Walt Disney Company^[9].
