Vlogging vs. blogging.
June 19th, 2008 Elliot
A blogger for Reuters ponders whether video blogging will replace plain old text blogging.
I don’t think it will.
Videos are becoming more popular on the net. But watching a video takes a fixed amount of time. Text blogs allow you to scan and read as fast as your eyes can move. And producing a decent video is still way more time consuming than pounding out a couple of interesting thoughts on a keyboard.
Video has it’s place, but vlogging won’t be replacing blogging for most people anytime soon.

“And producing a decent video is still way more time consuming than pounding out a couple of interesting thoughts on a keyboard.”
Two thoughts…
1) A “decent” video isn’t necessary
2) Maybe more time invested in “pounding out a couple of interesting thoughts” is something needed
Both of which I point out based entirely on the quality of my own blogging/vlogging. For some reason, people keep visiting. It’s like I’m the Taco Bell of the blogosphere!

Not to mention that many bloggers have a face for radio. Vid-blogging would be too cruel…

I’ve got a face that was just made for television…
