After being given a shout out by Charlie McDonnell (he's a well-known youtuber charlieissocoollike in case he's not well-known to you), Elmify has decided to repay him by giving some shout outs of her own. And probably lying in wait when he emerges from the airport when he arrives in the States (in December according to Charlie). I've been watching Elmify's videos since around July 2010 and always laugh at her vlogs. It seems like just a little while back that she hit 10,000 subscribers and checking her channel, she's up to 30K after getting the thumbs up from Charlie. So a big congrats to Elmify - 50,000 by the end of the year? And 100K by mid-2011? I say yes it will happen. Elmify was given a shout out by Charlie because of a video he had originally watched when he first joined Youtube over 3 years ago called The Liker Chain (see the post on Bradshaw's Blog: Charlie McDonnell Pays It Forward To Other Youtubers for more) and one of the youtubers he men...

I just finished watching this video by charlieissocoollike or Charlie McDonnell as he is known to folks IRL and he did a sort of mini "My YouTube Story" of how he began on YouTube back 3 years, 7 months and 1 day ago. Like many, Charlie stumbled onto YouTube and found an intriguing video. Flash forward to today and Charlie has decided to make a video like the one that made the light bulb go off in his head and highlight some of his fellow youtubers that he particularly likes: I have to agree with Charlie on his choices. I've been subscribed to Wheezy Waiter since he had only 3,000 subs or so - he's since been "discovered" and now is getting gobs and gobs of new subscribers and sits at 223K subscribers. I watch Wheezy regularly (and post here about him all the time: check here for Wheezy Waiter posts on Bradshaw's Blog). Also, I liked seeing Charlie's shout out to elmify who I am also stalking, er, subbed to. I've been subbed to elmify s...

Here's another addition to the Supernote Challenge. This time from elmify . If you are confused about what this "Supernote" business is all about, basically you film yourself holding a note for as long as you can and submit it to one of several "Team Captains." Elmify is on Meekakitty's Team Stashe . And congrats to elmify for posting her 40th YouTube video. I remember back in the old days before all the fame and wealth when she was so much more down to earth and... Okay, she's still as goofy as ever and unchanged and I don't think she will become a diva, even if she (or her alter ego) launches "Elmify After Dark". Oh and check out this video response made by blkfrhwk . It's a musical remix of some clips from elmify's channel.

I just watched the latest video from elmify and she said she had just noticed she had hit 10,000 subscribers which is pretty awesome. It was just last month that I posted Elmify: One Of My Latest Favorite YouTubers and she had about 4,500 subs and now a month later she's got 10K. Good job. If you haven't seen her before, obviously watch the above video, but sub to her channel as well (at the link above). Last month she talked about trying to get the "elmify" name on Twitter and finding it taken. At the time I told her to just use therealelmify or something else like that and she told me "she was on it." I guess she talked the person using the name to give it up anf now she's on Twitter as elmify , so follow her there too. Right now she has about 400 people following her Twitter account (including myself - follow me at Hey_Bradshaw ).

I spotted a tweet by Meekakitty that all her subs should check out elmify who is relatively still new to Youtube. So, being the mindless drone of the redhead from New York, I thought I would check Elmify out. I watched the video above. Immediately subscribed. I thought she was quite funny and I'm sure you'll like her slightly warped sense of humour as well. Elmify has 4,221 subs and will attract more. She has been on Youtube since September 2009 and has uploaded 28 videos. I just spend the better part of this afternoon watching ALL of them. She seems to be a bit of a natural in front of the camera and can jump easily between several versions of herself at different ages (she's 5, 11, 15, herself in the present, and herself as her own personal fantasy). Poor Elmify as herself living her fantasy life unfortunately leaves alot for her to be desired because although she has realized her dream to appear on the television program Saturday Night Live, she is just a "f...
