5 vloggers anno 2005
March 2005 is 3 years ago, and this post is about the posts that some videobloggers made in that month.
March 2005 was pre-Youtube. We were still enthusiastic about this, in a different way from today. First I will introduce that month’s work by four videobloggers I deeply respect, as well as my own from that month, and then I will make my own remix of all the footage from that month.
Scanning down that archive page we see that March 2005 included the beginning of Videoblogging week 2005, it included the infamous eyeball-video, the coca-cola dance video, and a video about his Northern Voice appearance.

“We were still enthusiastic about this”
can you be nostalgic for a time you never knew? it would be another eight months before i even jumped in the game, and still…
Hey DL, thanks for the comment.
I was quite imprecise, I guess. I meant that the enthusiasm we had then was quite different from the kind that came later on. For US, that is. Of course, something like videoblogging can be wildly engaging for anyone when they realize just how they can use it to tell the world their view of the world, their interests, their fantasies. But for me - the enthusiasm shifted sometime summer 05; became a bit more muted.
It’s not so much an issue of when one started, but the timespan that goes After one started.
Then again, all of this is very individual.
Hello. Would you like to exchange links with my blog “The Spokane Factor” (http://spokanefactor.blogspot.com/ )? If you do, please leave a comment on my blog.
What rap anyone can make about the era was how serious everyone was about it. Like it was a religion!
Turned me off to it…
Now look at Vlogging its everywhere!
Guess we’ll just have to wait for historians to explain it.
Your still cool though
Liked the mashup at the end…
I love what it was.
I love what it is.
I love what it can be.
It’s great that it lives as much as it does.
I do cherish that small world that it was once a part of.
thank you for the memories.
@ZuDfunck I get what you mean about the religion thing. I guess I was/is a cultist as well. I think part of it stems from the fact that we dont want to have all these opportunities taken away from us. I am pretty sure that Gutenberg and his peers were religious about their technology as well - and then things evened out, spread. I would Love to read more historians/researchers try to explain all of this.
@Charlene Yes, the small world that it once was part of. The people are still there. Yes, more noise around, but the connections we had are still there. Let’s focus on the people.
