Yeah depending on your style of vlog, and what devices you own, theres quite a 
few simple 
options:

mobile phone straight to net or via a computer
video camera to net via computer
maybe something to do very basic editing
maybe something to recompress

But mostly the apps that describe them selves as easy all-in-one vlogging 
solutions, are 
going for the webcam users. They need some app to capture from the camera, or a 
site 
that allows video capture straight to the service, via flash browser plugin & a 
media server 
at the services end.

I was pleased to see that for Leopard mac users, the built-in photobooth 
records video. 
But I found the performance of this app left something to be desired, capture 
wasnt great 
in the framerate department, but I might have been doing something wrong I 
suppose.

What a crazy and interesting world it would be if even 50% of the people who 
have 
webcams actually used them for such things. Im certainly glad Im not a company 
trying to 
sell such apps, I would think the market may be more dissapointing than they 
may have 
expected, for so many reasons.

I havent tried it but it reminds me of Vlog It! which had a similar idea of 
what vlogging is.

Now that product didnt get an easy ride on this group, since then I see the 
creators, 
Serious Magic, got bought by Adobe.

Certainly we know that vlogging can mean a lot of things, a lot of stuff that 
has little to do 
with what these apps offer. But I think things like the level of participation 
in this style by 
lots of people on youtube, does show it has merit. Its more like 'non-realtime 
video 
conferencing' or TV autocue bluescreen stuff than what we think of as vlogging, 
but its all 
very legit and it will suit some people's needs I guess.

So many discussions and disagreements here over the years due to just how 
widely or 
narrowly the term videoblog or vlog can be interpreted, sure wish we had more 
words for 
this stuff.

You don't even need a video editing program.

Other than a web browser, isn't a video editing program pretty much
all the software you need to vlog?
