The community began on LiveJournal as veni_vidi_vids, with the first issue written on January 1, 2007. The current format for vid recs debuted on March 10, 2008, inspired by metafandom's move to Delicious. We maintain a few different kinds of back-ups, including the veni_vidi_vids community at InsaneJournal, although that is no longer being updated.

The Dreamwidth community was created on April 6, 2009 and we have been (manually) cross-posting content at Dreamwidth and LiveJournal since then. On ___ Dreamwidth admins granted my request to import the LiveJournal community, so the Dreamwidth community also has all content going back to January 2007.

The vid recs are now tracked via a Diigo account that pushes content to the original delicious account. Diigo automatically posts all saved vid recs daily to venivicivid. The recs for the current month periodically get formatted and posted to the LJ/DW communities.

You can navigate the Diigo and Delicious accounts by tag or combination of tags: find recs by fandom and month. Many (older) recs can also be sorted by vidder and who made the rec. Some recs have additional tags for e.g. the community such as crack_van or bsgvidrecs. As of April 8, 2009, we have 3,675 vidrec entries, covering 250 fandoms and 1,375 vidders.

As of July, 2012 there are __ vidrec entries.

As of Spring, 2015 Delicious cannot be viewed unless you have an account and are logged in.

In addition to the back-up at Diigo, the account is also duplicated at pinboard. (There are some duplicate entries at pinboard due to an import error, but all entries should be present).
