From January 1 to December 31, 2007, Green and his brother John ran videos blog project entitled Brotherhood 2.0. The first project ran daily for your year, using the premise how the brothers would cease all text-based ("textual") communication for the year and instead converse by daily video blogs, distributed around people via their YouTube channel Vlogbrothers and also on their website. If, for reasons uknown, the recording is finished 4 minutes or late, then punishments will be set out for the offender. The first idea for your project was John's when, in an im conversation between the two, he stated that they had not gone beyond the realms of communication via phone conversations, e-mails, and im for pretty much a year.

Recurring themes included "Nerdfighters", adding the phrase "in your pants" for the end of book titles, "Song Wednesdays", "Question Tuesdays" (these normally didn't occur on the Tuesday, which resulted in video titles such as "Question Tuesday on Friday"), punishments for damaging the rules, clips of Hank 'humping' various items, the DFTBA initialism ('Don't Forget To Be Awesome'), and displaying intercourse between giraffes since the thumbnail for videos.

By December 31, 2007, the brothers had chose to continue vlogging although the project had ended.

In 2008, John and Hank met up with their fans, known as "Nerdfighters". The initial gathering was obviously a last second decision, but regardless of the short three-day notice, nearly one hundred people attended. In August, John and Hank were invited for the Google office in Chicago to talk about the project. That very same day, they filled the Harold Washington Library with some four hundred adults. Following John's tour to promote his third novel, Paper Towns, the brothers went on a national tour in November. With events in 17 different cities, they met thousands of Nerdfighters at local libraries and community centers. During this tour, Hank released his first album of Nerdfighter-themed songs, entitled So Jokes.

Saving money brothers happen to be interviewed on PotterCast and possess been recurring keynote speakers in the Harry Potter fan convention LeakyCon.

The Brotherhood 2.0 project succeeded in their original mission. The two brothers have started to communicate more thoroughly with each other, and have a larger influence in every other's lives than ever before the work was initiated. The brothers talked on the phone a few times a year before Brotherhood 2.0, but, according to Hank's wife Katherine, they now "talk nearly every day."

John and Hank continued to write vlogs every Tuesday and Friday on their own channel. At the time of September 14, 2012, they have posted 1,000 videos. With more than millions of subscribers, those are the 149th most subscribed directors over the internet. Their videos happen to be watched over 300 million times.

Next year, John and Hank also began new projects, YouTube web-shows named "Crash Course" and "SciShow" (each of which began late January). "CrashCourse" is an educational series, with weekly episodes composed of John teaching World History, U.S. History, and Literature, and Hank teaching Biology, Chemistry, and Ecology. SciShow features Hank updating viewers on scientific knowledge and news.
