Vlogbrothers in 2007
On January 1 Hank launched Brotherhood 2.0: for a year the brothers would communicate only by video blog on alternate days, with punishments for missed videos, and John proposed that they also set each other challenges. From an airport arcade game John took the name Nerdfighters, and the brothers built a community around becoming nerdfighters and decreasing suck. John won a Printz Honor for An Abundance of Katherines, moved to Indianapolis and named his novel Paper Towns; Hank's 'Accio Deathly Hallows' reached YouTube's front page. After the brothers' visit to the Dominican Republic they urged lending through Kiva; in December Hank launched the Project for Awesome, and John called Nerdfighters a centerless community.
258 videos, 14 hours.
