As AndyMooseman on YouTube, Hastings, U.K. resident Andy
Gunton has been vlogging since 2006.
He’s seen the online community grow from what was essentially a small
village into online metropolis it is today. Though YouTube is only about six years old, Andy
things of his own videos as “old-fashioned vlogs.”
“I tend to do unedited videos. Sometimes it’s a stream of
consciousness thing. It’s usually
based around some sort of topic…. things I see in the news, or whatever, just
something that springs out of something that might have happened to you, that
type of thing, maybe trying to get people to thing about things a little bit.”
In the past, he’s also done scenic or historical videos,
taking his viewers on guided walks, or sharing a local occasional festival or
event.
Though the public generally doesn’t perceive YouTube as a
social network, Andy recalls that in 2006, it was just about the only game in
town, “In that time, Facebook was
in it’s infancy. There was no such thing as Twitter, so it was the one place
where you could more or less meet up and speak to each other and see each other
as well.”
