A Brief History of #ULOG and the Curation

Not so long ago, #ulog was born. The first post from @ulogs was entitled The Birth Of Ulogs. "You Are A Celebrity, So Why Not Just Ulog?" No Video Camera; No Problemo.” Click the link to know more of #ulog’s history. Check the comments of @nexrules, he perceived that @surpassinggoogle is the one behind #ulog, and he’s right. It’s another great and fresh idea from Sir Terry.

Few days past, @ulogs created a follow up post with "The World Needs To Hear From You. Even Steemit Is Calling!" Now, You Can Answer. "Create A ULOG Today". (The "U" in "Ulogs" represents "YOU".). In this post, #ulog was further explained. The guidelines were laid down in making #ulog posts too. If I’m not mistaken, after this post, #ulog has officially started and the rest is history.

#Ulog erupted like a bomb, it was a huge hit in its first week alone. The #ulog/#ulogs tags were used more than 2000 times in less than a week. #Ulog is only about a month old now, but the result is overwhelming. It’s a well-patronized tag and there’s is no doubt that Steemians, including myself love #ulog.

Steemians are not automatically a #uloggers unless they create their #ulog post. It has been noticed that a lot of Steemians are making their first #ulog, but unaware of the guidelines in writing a #ulog, so they are committing errors.

In @ulogs’ second post, there’s a style guide provided in writing a #ulog. Check out below.

• It is better when a Ulog is "once a day".
• It should be about you or events in a day, related to you
• You can talk in an undertone, if you want to maintain privacy
• It can be a Vlog. (For Vlogs, you can post to Dlive, Dtube or Youtube + Steemit)
• The edge of a Ulog over a Vlog is; you don't need to have a camera and the right selfie-stick or right poutty-lips etc to document or record your awesomeness each day, for you have your very handy, ever-present memory, hearts and minds; thus, you can record all that happened each day; all that involves "you", in entire steemit posts called "Ulogs", whether you were able to create a Vlog or not, because its all about "Ulogs" now.
• Ulogs can contain pictures but where pictures are used, these shouldn't be resourced from the internet, instead should be fresh pictures involving you or events and locations within your day.
• Ulogs can exist without images but steemit posts in general as always better with images. (Where you are not able to take fresh pictures, you can always use old pictures, or craft out avatars, art or any graphic media that is original and shows "YOU" off.
• Tell us how your day went.
• Tell us about how you feel now and how you felt all day
• Tell us about who you met and about who met with you.
• Tell us about your kids; about your friends; about your pets.
• Tell about your new shoes and where you wore them too and about who complimented your shoes.
• Tell us about how you cleaned your mirror several times, so you can see your face
• Tell us about what you saw, when you looked in the mirror.
• Tell us about a new fan and why you feel the person became your fan.
• Tell us about steemit, how you used it during the day; what amazing thing you saw on it; who you met on it; who you became a fan off on it; what new things you learned on it etc
• Tell us about your resolutions for the day and if you met them or failed at meeting them.
• Tell about the dog that barked at you and of how your cat meowed back and shooed the dog off.
• Tell us about your stubborn boss and how you dealt with his stubbornness that day.
• Tell us of how you solved someone's problem or of how you solved someone's problem.
• Tell us of how the ever-missing piece of your puzzle popped out during a casual conversation with an acquaintance, stranger etc
• Tell of us of how you got a contract to decorate the interior of 10 private jets.
• Tell us of how you got drunk and regretted it or enjoyed it.
• Tell us of your date plans and failed date plans.
• Tell us of how you got one step closer to your dreams or went two steps back.
• Tell us of how she said "no"; of how you got hurt and of if you tried to forget your hurt or of if you "took charge" and converted your hurt into "drive" for creating more beauty
• Tell if you forgave someone. Tell us of how hard it was. Tell us if you didn't forgive.
• Tell us if you turned the other cheek, when you got slapped or if you slapped back.
• Tell us how things didn't go your way and how you improvised or how you tired out.
• Tell us about "You" and everything that constitutes "You".
• Put "You" in each of our days, using a #ulog.
• Tell us "You" were here; "present" in the world today.
• Don't starve us of "your beauty" today, for you now have a #ulog.
• Be celebrity, let us be your fans.
• etc
