The latest wave of videos are called 'haul' videos. Do a search for a few. Basically, young women speaking to the camera showing off the latest stuff they just bought at the mall, OMG!
I'm trying to be cynical but there's something about it that I really like.
Let's face it. Buying stuff is no fun if you can't share. How many of us go shopping on our own, come home and have no one to parade the latest shoes, bags and coats we charged? It doesn't have to be clothes and accessories. If you are into gadgets, it could be your latest phone, latest app etc. With a haul video, you can show it off to everyone regardless of whether or not they are your true friends. And make new ones.
Isn't that what the net is all about?
I'm going to have to get in on the action next time I go shopping.
