Comedy writer for FunnyOrDie, Scott Gairdner, recently retired from creating YouTube videos. He could’ve gone out with a bang by releasing one of his notoriously hilarious videos on his YouTube channel, but instead he chose to let his replacement, the “New Scott Gairdner”, enter with a bang of his own. Check out this hilarious vlog, which by itself, makes a statement about the current batch of vloggers who are dominating the YouTube charts these days.

The “New Scott Gairdner” is actually Stephen Grossman from Steezyluck Comedy, who also have a nice collection of original comedy videos on their YouTube channel that you should check out.

Perhaps vlogging can be seen as a cheap shot to hacky-editing, self-absorbed, “ce-web-rity”-type of individuals or even a ”cavalry call” to content creators for a new online video battle of vloggers vs. entertainment professionals, or maybe not, but either way this content is certainly good for a chuckle, so enjoy!

Do you create vlogs? Tell us below in the comments on how you create them, and what motivates you to be a vlogger.

The Internet has forever changed how everyone communicates on a global level. Email revolutionized communication, but we have come a long way to evolve with real-time interactions such as instant messaging, tweeting, waving, status updating, live video, and numerous other ways. YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn and many other social sharing sites have contributed one way or another to make everyone more accessible while virtually eliminate our privacy. Love it or hate it this is just the beginning of what we can expect from the ever evolving social web.

We now not only just consume media content but participate in it as well to help shape it from a consumption standpoint, and influence what the creator produces in the future. This explains why TV, magazines, and radio are facing real challenges as they continue their focus on broadcasting or pushing content out rather then engaging their viewers, readers, and listeners to pull ideas and content from them.

The film and video production industry is now starting to realize the potential of this new social movement, leading to some very good quality yet low-cost online video entertainment. The ability for talent to connect to form collaborative production teams, is not only speeding up the overall process but vastly improving it as well. Production teams don’t have to be all located in one central location anymore, a team can consist with members located across the planet which is exceptionally beneficial for creators in remote areas or small towns. So even if you live in Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada with a population of just 2,000 people it’s possible to collaborate with talent located in Hollywood, or even far east in Bollywood.

Our dream for Spidvid is to have thousands of individuals producing video content together which wouldn’t have otherwise been produced. By leveraging our platform, there is now a simple solution to make that possible and then some. This is still a very new concept so our challenge now to make this a reality is to educate people through content, email, social media, face to face contact and whatever else it takes for anyone who’s interested to truly “get” how special things can be for video production.

We aren’t saying to completely change how you currently produce videos, but haven’t you wondered how talent outside of your city, personal network, or Craigslist could benefit your projects and content? If you are even slightly interested you should get yourself a Spidvid account so it’s ready whenever you, or someone else who wants to collaborate and add you to their team is.
