tzijlstra   11 #1 Posted June 11, 2016 Anybody here follow any of the more well known vloggers (like Casey Neistat, or any of the countless others out there?).  I was never really into them, but there are some more 'grown-up' vlogs out there as well and I have to say: I quite enjoy them. It is like a marriage between reality TV and blogging somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
The Joker   10 #2 Posted June 14, 2016 i don't think anybody's responded because we don't want to look ignorant.  Fortunately, that's not stopped me before . . . What's a vlog? Is it that YouTube video "thing" that Russell Brand does / did, where he tells anybody watching not to vote? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

A vlog is a video log, like a blog (Weblog) that people write on sites like Wordpress and Blogger, but then it is recorded live and discusses things that way. They are indeed usually Youtube videos.  Google Casey Neistat, he runs an excellent daily vlog about his life in New York and his travels to speak at conferences as a social media expert. Very entertaining stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sheffandy   30 #4 Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) There are two I follow. (Both YouTube) One is called Aquachigger, a very nice American guy who metal detects rivers and the like for Civil War memrobilia like canon balls, bullets, artefacts etc. Also does nature walks etc. An excellent personality in front the camera, with a likeable style. Another is Rickvanman, a UK blogger who I started watching when he took over an abandoned allotment and ended up watching all 130 episodes!(well worth watching from first episode if you have an allotment or thinking of getting one.) He now does videologs and often goes for a drive round his area in Wilts and chats about stuff. Also does DIY projects and other bits and bobs. Both have got quite a good few thousand followers.

I wonder if there are any UK vloggers that do that sort of thing?  Yeah, its not all history, he does walks and talks, goes up rivers and explores and recently came to London foreshore exploring on the Thames, and also did a couple of vids from his vacation in Italy. All good easy viewing stuff. As I say, I like his easy going style, and hes got a nice personality which helps.

patpinder   10 #8 Posted January 1, 2017 Stumbled upon Casey Neistat some months ago and he inspired me to start vlogging ...at 68 years old... The Brit vlogger I follow is Alex, Marzbar .. a bit manic, but interesting. It's not cheap , vlogging, and requires a good deal of learning and cash to produce a quality video. I spend money I don't have, but I enjoy making the films...done nine so far... check 'em out on You tube at .. The name is ... steelcityman ... All you need to start is a phone with a decent camera ... but then you need to get a decent sound system, lights and some quality ideas for projects. Good luck if you try it.
