Vlogging is short for Video Blogging and has taken the internet by storm in recent years. Vlogs have been around since before YouTube, but the rise of the world's largest video content platform marked a significant shift in their development as a distinct medium from blogging.
Making it far easier to upload, share and interact with a subscriber base means YouTube and Vlogging has now become synonymous. Check out these 7 Vlogging stars who give us a window into their exciting lives and bring us along for the adventure.

MrMobile [Michael Fisher]
