The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

You'd think that one dinner with a guy who thinks he knows

everything about everything wouldn't be so bad.

And it wasn't. But it didn't stop with one dinner, no.

Mr. Collins has been coming around every day this week.

I thought he was supposed to be packing up his mother's house, not hanging around ours.

And when he's here, all he wants to do is mention his venture capitalist,

or talk about web video. A subject I'm not sure he actually knows anything about.

Oh, but he has learned at least one thing since VidCon...

My name is Lizzie Bennet, and guess who discovered my videos?

So, I'm not worried at all about people discovering my videos.

Caroline's got my back with Bing and as for Ricky... well... He's Ricky.

Which is to say he's a complete and total… - Lizzie!

- What? You told me to be candid. - But he's watching.

You can't say… what you were about to say.

It's not like he's watching every video.

I'm not having this discussion on camera.

Like I said, it's not like he's watching every video.

You're willing to risk that he's never going to see this.

The internet is forever and you just called him an idiot on it.

I did not call him an idiot. I said he didn't

know anything about web video. Big difference.

It's not like that's a secret. I've tried to tell him that to his face,

but, as you may have noticed, he doesn't really listen when other people talk.

- Still, you don't have to antagonize him. - Why not? He antagonizes me.

- Am I interrupting? - Yes.

- No, come on in. Have a seat. - Ms. Lu, a pleasure as always.

Ms. Bennet, I've been meaning to talk to you. - You can just call me Lizzie.

- But that would be unmannerly. - No, it's OK. That's my name.

We've known each other since we were seven. It'll be fun.

Well, I see that you're filming again. Oh, that is exceedingly savvy of you.

My VC partner, Catherine De Bourgh always says,

"The key to success is content, content and content."

Much like the real estate mantra of location, location, location.

In a way it's really about repetition, repe… - Yes. I think we get the point.

Oh, content is crucial in a successful video blog. Almost a prerequisite.

- Yeah, I know, that's why we try to… - Oh, I don't know if you know this,

but the accepted term is now "vlog", much in the same way that web log was contracted

to form blog, video blog, or I suppose, video web log, has been contracted to form vlog.

- You don't say! - Yeah, I believe that you could be doing so much more, Lizzie.

As I was saying at VidCon, the internet is a rich market, largely untapped.
