Her reality-video blog (vlog) was the first one launched on Justin.tv.[24]Kan had been encouraged by fans and followers to allow someone else to make a guest appearance on his lifecasting channel.[25][26]

At first Ezarik was considering producing a video series for the technology audience because they had been the most captive audience for online video series.[27]She stated that she did not intend to broadcast what she considers private moments, noting "That shouldn't be a problem. I am going to try as much as I can to do 24/7."[14]

When the iPhone debuted in June 2007, Ezarik covered the device's debut at theMall of AmericainBloomington,Minnesotaa suburb south ofMinneapolis.She had been invited by atechnology evangelistto film her Internet TV show at the mall instead of covering its debut at theShadysideApple store as she had originally planned.[28]

Stories of unexpected billing issues began to circulate in blogs and the technical press after the AppleiPhone's heavily advertised and anticipated release, but this video clip brought the voluminous bills to the attention of the mass media.

Ten days after its initial posting, the video had been viewed more than 2 million times on the Internet, and received international news coverage.[32][33]The video was later reported to have reached over 8 million total views as of December 2007.[34]

The final cut of the interview video included footage from the live web cast of the interview showing Ezarik's webcam viewpoint. When Sites asked her to turn off her lifecasting equipment later in the interview, he noted that "at once the conversation seemed more relaxed and natural," and she discussed the difficulty of having people watching and publicly judging her all day.[36]
