I railed against (almost) everything I think is wrong with the NY Times article here: http://tinyurl.com/brpef That said, congrats to everyone, especially Ian, who deserves all the kudos we can shower upon him! I was also so happy to see the words Reality Sandwich. Too bad you won't see much of a traffic spike without links. Apparently Neopets.com will, though... I'm going to email Sarah Boxer about the links. We need to keep on journalists about this, sadly. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Clint Sharp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/25/arts/25vlog.html? kudos to everyone who got a mention!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: ny times article on vlogging
Thanks Chuck! This was the first time I have EVER been mentioned in any newpaper (unless you count the times I made honor roll in high school...big press item). Now the NYT!? Damn. Not that I am looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I too was concerned about the fact that there was no link in the actual article. I consider three or four new people commenting on my site a spike, but I feel that it is important to at least say Hey...this is where I got my info.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: ny times article on vlogging
I am very happy that video blogging is getting more press, for the shear fact that it may bring more people to start video blogging themselves. I totally agree with Chuck and his commentary on the article. I also recognize how this is a perfect example of themed content and how it makes things more palatable to outsiders. Now I am probably never going to turn my blog into a theme outside of this is me, Josh Leo But the emphasis that Ian got in this article (5 paragraphs and 2 pictures compared to everyone else with 1 sentence and no pictures) is a clear example that the average everyday person will understand something easier if it has a gimmick or theme. I am not saying that Ian's project is a gimmick in the negative sense of the word, it just makes it easier to understand. normal person understands a personal challenge of trying to do something difficult every day (such as creating a video) better than they would someone posting video randomly just because they enjoy it. The emphasis on the three episodes of Challenge Ian overshadowed the whole project (7 months of videos) because it was even more of a gimmick. After talking with Ian this morning, he thinks he is going to set challenge Ian on the backburner because of the attention it is getting. The other draw of Ian's project, and Rocketboom is it's habitual viewership. people go back every day because it becomes part of their routine. having that habitual audience is great way to maintain viewers. Both Ian and Rocketboom have had their fair share of really awesome videos, and that is another reason that they are getting the attention that they deserve. I just find it interesting to try to understand how the press picks video blogs to cover. They don't cover all the most popular ones (though Rocketboom and Steve Garfield have been mentioned in nearly every article so far.) and sometimes they pick out random people who have just started and launch them into the public eye. I guess, as this most recent article presents, America is used to TV so showing them video blogs that fit into the idea's of tv makes the topic easier to digest. ok so I know some stuff i have just typed may piss some people off, I am not always the most effective in text so here are my disclaimers: I love the 05 project Ian is an awesome video blogger Themed content is not a bad thing Habitual viewership is not a bad thing shows are not a bad thing I am obviously wrting out of the emotion of I wish they would have covered me more throroughly Don't hate me! -- Josh Leowww.joshleo.comwww.stonefarm.blogspot.comwww.joshspicks.blogspot.com www.wearethemedia.com YAHOO!

[videoblogging] Re: ny times article on vlogging
See, that's the weirdest part about the article for me: they mention so many people but only link to a few on the sidebar-- I mean, it's the NYT!!!, they know how to hyperlink (to Neopets?!?!) Great article-- even though they didn't seem to talk to anybody. Which is also weird. But, then again, if they are treating it like a tv review they did it right. schlomo http://schlomolog.blogspot.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: wow, they mentioned my name!

I am out of the loop in terms of watching videos, being on the road as I am, but could someone please Vlog the newspaper from today? that is, just take some video of the newspaper, go to the section with the vlog story, then do a review of the article, or something. if it's already done, please excuse me :) if not, I think that would be cool!
