I can't help but think that someone who walks around pointing a camera at them-self and then puts that up for the world to see is a show. I understand however the rejection of the word as it applies to this particular medium when people feel it may indicate something contrived, or planned

Let's extend the show analogy a bit... To me, most videoblogs are *segments*. Only when you have multiple segments, does it become a *show*. I view *show* in this context as much more of a container than simply anything. That's just my opinion on it, and my knee-jerk, though. andrew michael
