AOL News Presents… Where Are They Now? - video powered by Metacafe

Vlogging has arrived. Of course vlogging has arrived. But it struck me again how much it has arrived when I saw the video ad above from AOL News.

It occured to me that our popular culture reference points for this time in history will be vlogs as much as anything else. Surely they won’t be the types of things that reference other eras — American Bandstand outtakes, Saturday Night Live skits, or clips from MTV’s The Real World.

User-generated video. That’s our time. It is officially the Vlog Era.
