One of the cool things about video blogging is that it’s a great way to collaborate with your friends and other bloggers as well. That’s why video contests like Globe’s Paramihan Challenge and Nescafe’s 3-in-1 Flicks are such online hits – they allow brilliant minds to mix and match ideas and do something creative together. Years ago, podcasting is the barkada’s favorite techie past time; but now, almost everybody is shifting and digging the video format. Sky’s the limit – here are different vlogs by different barkadas with different treatments and styles:

Ria and Friends’ Mutant Skit
A great way to have fun and experiment with special effects.

Az and Friends’ Burger King Feast
Food Vlogging

The Palawan Gang’s Misadventures

Just a few weeks ago, a funny TV commercial of a local DSL company surprised the nation. While other brands bombard us with young women in bikinis in their ads, this one dared to be different. And it’s very witty too! Ladies and gentlemen, Video Chops presents internet’s newest sensation, Lola Techie!

Lola Techie is the grandmother of JR, who I assume is a teenager who’s been neglecting her lola for quite awhile now. Lola Techie uses her DSL connection to get her grandson’s attention – reprimanding him for ignoring her online. Their first video viral is about lola’s super poke and Youtube skills which was a super overnight hit.  Once it hit Youtube last week, the video spread all over the net like wildfire.

Now, a new viral video is up! And we discover that Lola Techie also has a Twitter account!

Great TV ads come and go. But the marketing team of Bayan DSL took this brilliant concept to the next level. Now, Lola Techie is ACTIVE all over the net with constant updates on her Youtube, Facebook, Multiply, Twitter and Plurk account. “Ghost blogger” or not, Lola Techie‘s daily shout-outs certainly put smiles on faces of her followers.

After the second viral went online, I’m excited what Lola Techie might be doing next! But I’m sure JR’s not as enthusiastic about it as I am.

Blogger attendees of CBTL Video Blogging Workshop by Mike Cabardo produce an unexpected video hit.
