:''This article is about the brothers and their collaborative efforts and projects, as well as their lives. For their individual articles, see John Green and Hank Green. For their initial web project and collaborative video blog, see VlogBrothers. Not to be confused with the Brothers Green or Green Brothers Novelty Band. The Green brothers, John (born August 24, 1977) and Hank (born May 5, 1980), are two American brothers, entrepreneurs, social activists, and YouTube vloggers. The two extensively work with each other in their lives and careers, having started their collaborative popularity with their "Brotherhood 2.0" project in 2007. The Greens' portfolio of online work, which Hank describes as "a small YouTube network with about 15 channels," includes their main "VlogBrothers" channel, ''SciShow'', and ''The Lizzie Bennet Diaries'', among several others. John has risen from being a popular YouTube personality to Hollywood stardom with his breakthrough novel, ''The Fault in Our Stars'', and its 2014 film adaptation. Although the novel's positioning at #1 on ''The New York Times'' Best Seller list, as well as the box office success of the film are reasons for his rise to celebrity prominence, John maintains he is instead best known for his online projects, such as ''Crash Course''. Hank has also made himself individually known, having created "EcoGeek", a blog dedicated to environmentally beneficial advancements in technology. The blog was originally a class project of Hank's, while he studied at the University of Montana, but eventually progressed into becoming a major environmental publication, which would grab the attention of ''Time''. Hank has also gained recognition for co-founding the record label, DFTBA Records, with Alan Lastufka. Together, however, the two brothers are credited with creating as some have described as, a "YouTube media," or "online multimedia" empire.〔 This empire, including projects centered on education, gaming, and trivia, among others, has amassed an active fanbase known as "Nerdfighteria."〔 ==VlogBrothers== (詳細はthe show with zefrank'', the Greens launched the "VlogBrothers" channel. Another inspiration for the project was the video blog channel, ''Lonelygirl15''. The project was originally meant to be a year-long way to deepen the bond between the brothers, creating a new outlet to communicate to each other. Prior to the video blog, Hank claims the two, "didn't ever talk, really." The project, titled "Brotherhood 2.0", quickly grew an audience, leading to the Greens' success on YouTube. On their following, Hank has stated, "We were never really shouting into the void. There were always people following us. Even if it was just a couple dozen people, they were really engaged." ''The New Yorker'' has described the VlogBrothers channel as "the anchor of an online empire."〔 The topics of videos on the channel vary widely, as the Greens speak about whatever is on their minds at the time. The first majorly successful VlogBrothers video, "Accio Deathly Hallows", uploaded on July 18, 2007, was a song about ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows''. The video was featured on YouTube's front page, earned over 1 million views, and introduced the brothers to the ''Harry Potter'' fandom. By the end of 2007, the channel garnered 40,000 subscribers. Another video, in which John announces his support for his friend, mathematician and politician, Daniel Biss, was covered by ''The Wall Street Journal''. The Brotherhood 2.0 project would end on December 31, 2007, but the Greens announced on their final Brotherhood 2.0 vlog, that they would continue creating videos. The channel and its fanbase would grow past Brotherhood 2.0, and eventually in 2013, it reached the 1 million subscriber threshold. The brothers have continued to work on the blog, with Hank stating, "I'm so happy that we get to keep doing vlogbrothers and that people still care about vlogbrothers," adding, "that's still the thing I do. Everything else is just an extension of that thing."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green brothers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
