You retain all the qualities of a blog, and you get the added bonus of video. Look at my most recent video blog post. It was shot with a Canon S400 digital still camera that has video features and uploaded to blip.tv and then cross posted to my video blog. In the text area of the post I have links to everything mentioned in the video, and I have a transcript of what is said. So there you have it all. It's a moment, captured on video and shared, plus you get links and can read it instead or in addition to viewing. The benefit of viewing is that you get a sense of what it was like to be there. I could have written many paragraphs explaining it, but the video shows it. Also, no opening, credits, music... The whole point abotu video blogging is that it’s video in a blog.

Dina’s reprise of Why Alec Saunders Should Videoblog caught me by surprise.  Personal and direct, her piece is a testament to why Dina believes that vlogging is important.  Jonny’s hidden talents as a noseflute player were briefly demonstrated in his piece.  Jonny, let me know if you want to play duets sometime… I consider myself an accomplished olfactory musician.  Rob Hyndman, while taking a position similar to my own, introduced me to ZeFrank, for which I am thankful.  Phoneboy pointed out that my comments about linking may not be entirely true.  Individual media formats (for instance, QuickTime) can include hyperlinks in the media stream, but there isn’t a standard or easy way to put them in.  Side thought: does this mean that YouTube’s use of flash has annointed flash the format winner in the video wars on the internet?

The last time, I sat to figure out if there were any good videos to watch on Youtube, or google video, there wasnt any. The problem is that, the basic skillset for video recording and editing, is much more than what the average joe can handle. Perhaps, apple will start working on something like garageband for making videocasts. But as for the skill of story telling... well, thats something that can't catch up that easily. The differentiation in writing vs. video is that, while with writing you could target a specific audience, with video, it can be a totally different thing and visual cues can be interpreted in so many ways and there are too many details to cover. “I suspect that for most people, myself included, the majority of video on the network today isn’t worth watching.” - I’d agree with Alec in this.

For examples, check out the abcnews.com podcast for World News as well as MacBreak.
