Videolog was a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos. It was founded in May 2004 by Ariel Alexandre and Edson Mackeenzy, and became one of the main online video providers from Brazil.
Popularity
In 2006, Videolog made a partnership with the giant Brazilian internet service provider UOL.

The report also states figures such as 1.5 million unique visitors per month, 35 million page views and 3.5 million videos accessed on a daily basis.
In November 2010, the partnership ended and Videolog joined the Brazilian news portal R7, from the Record media conglomerate.
