Hello,
I'm looking for French vlogs to keep in touch with the language and, despite the overflowing abundance of vlogs/blogs/whateva all over the internet, my incompetence in the puzzling process of internet searching has led me to a whopping total of four active vlogs that I've actually liked. [/sarcasm]
Due to my ineptitude in finding things, I'd like if some of you on this forum could point me in a good direction or recommend good French vlogs. Hell, maybe this can become a giant vlog thread where we recommend active vlogs of any language and edit my first post if you so wished.
By good vlog, I mean it must have these few characteristics:
-Actively updated: at least once a week
-Rather long: more than five minutes per video
-Work/Family safe: I hope I don't need to explain this...
-Simple to follow: no weird editing experiments or obnoxious babble. Just speech.
Hopefully, you guys are a bit better at the art of Google and can find some robust material.
Thanks in advance.

I enjoy the SRC Youtube channel. There's also Dailymotion and Miro Guide that have the advantage that you can sort by language. Hope you find something useful.

Could you share those that you did like with us? I would appreciate it (trying to work on my listening comprehension)

Also, I go to blip.tv and watch the french episodes.
Overall, I'm not really that pleased with the vlogs I found. I was hoping to hit upon intelligent 18+ males AND females. This was just stuff that I found to be active.
Although that may seem like a lot, it really isn't. Most of them update about once a week, if that. Searching vlog doesn't give you many results because, on youtube, the language filter doesn't function correctly and, on dailymotion, there aren't many active vloggers (that I could find). I didn't find any personal vlogs in French on Miro. This is why I made this thread, hoping that there would be other active searchers, and maybe we could share results. Judging from the inactivity over this week, it appears that no one is interested in vlogs, which is just fine if that's the case. Please feel free to post away if you are.
Thanks.

I'm angry at these vloggers because none of them have updated since two weeks ago. >:V
Hopefully, I can find some more stuff and share it, but I was also hoping that someone else could search with me and thicken the list a little bit (maybe with another language :0) ?
I promise that this is the last time I'll whine in this thread. If nothing happens, I'll just keep editing my second post and/or making some new ones, then let it die.
Here are some non-active blogs that I've found:
