Voice your opinion - Vlogging, the future of Blogs

by Francesca Jones at 09:00 GMT, Wednesday, 24 September 2008

Samuel Pepys and Anne Frank, two of the most famous diarists in the world wrote their personal monologues into their notebooks.

With technology advancing more and more people are keeping their diaries online in blogs, but technology has advanced one more step - welcome to the world of vlogging (video logging).

The phenomenon of YouTube has brought us such one hit wonders as 'dramatic-look gopher' and 'baby panda sneezes' but it has also introduced the world to some interesting, intelligent and hilarious bloggers who choose to voice their opinions through video.

WHAT THE BUCK SHOW

This celebrity-oriented vlog written by American Michael Buckley is informative and always fun.

Although a lot of the content is concerned with celebrity happenings from the other side of the pond Buckley's enigmatic personality and long, unbroken, excitable sentences will have you literally laughing out loud, and that's before he begins singing, dancing or doing handstands.

Buckley also has a personal vlogging channel, peron75, in which fans can get to know the real 'Buck'.

Angry Aussie

He does what it says on the tin.

He's Australian, he's angry. AngryAussie vlogs, rants and raves about anything that rails him from politics to be people who just plain annoy him.

Its chris crocker

Chris Crocker, most famous for his 'Leave Britney Alone' vlog has left YouTube, leaving behind him some extremely controversial videos. If you like larger-than-life personalities (and are over 18) then check out Chris Crocker.

But be warned, he may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Andrew Bravener

Bravener is a student from Canada whose vlogs range from personal opinions, observations, childhood memories and cookery lessons (we've learnt how to make a cinnamon bun when we have no time at all, thanks Andrew!).

Make sure that you check out the Unfortunate Story Series for some hilarious anecdotes and if you feel like pondering life's bigger questions have a look at TCCT ('Thinky Chair Corner Time').

Amazing Phil

AmazingPhil is one of us - he's a British Student.

His random thoughts whilst vlogging tend to hit home as a fellow student, however obscure they are.

From vlogs about his holidays to the recent horrific spider attack Phil will make you laugh at the pure randomness.

Along with the vlogs Phil has an interest in media and his editing skills are put to the test in his other videos - check out The Basket for an extremely surreal experience.

So don't just read people's opinions - hear them!
