Re: [videoblogging] Other community reflections
To which montage do you refer? Got a link? Thanks, Jan On 25 Nov 2006 12:31:52 +0900, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Regarding that ten-minute montage, I can't compare it in terms of communities but can observe it from the outside as a longtime expatriate in Japan. First, imagine if it were just a podcast: it would have seemed so pointless. I'm not sure, for that matter, what was the point of the video and how it was of interest to peers. Far from inflated egos, many seemed deflated by the challenge of the lens, to not only have something to say, quickly, but also to be filmed in a medium dominated by females with plastic surgery and blow-dried model males. If there was any message in the guy who was cursing, it was that the lens was an indictment placing him an an unflattering, comparative light. Where the video was possibly interesting was in the colorful differences in the subjects' appearances, yet it was scary how, for all the seeming ethnic diversity, they sounded so much the same, portraying similar insecurities in strikingly similar language, with barely a variation between American and British English. The melting pot seemed to work effects similar to assimilationist policies like we have over here in East Asia. The video medium allowed for nearly the maximum dimensionality, though too limited to indoor web cams. Maybe what is meant by other community is that, on the other hand, videoblogging or producing digital videos is attracting the imagination of of a new generation of artistic people who can use the affordances of new media to advantage. Otherwise it's deflating to face both the accusing lens, representing the still mainstream media-fed viewers, and those who have read the manuals or done creative cinematography.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Proposal
Well I sort of agree with you Robert. If a company has started a conference and branded it with a name that is specific to what they are doing (Microsoft's Dive Deeper events for example) then I agree 100% with what you are saying. However, if someone takes a generic name like vloggercon, which is such an obvious contraction of Vlogger and conference, and tries to own it then I'm not so sure. That sort of thing smacks of trying to patent the right click. If you want a brand you can protect, then go for something specific and I'll support you all the way.

I've thought as Vloggercon, not as a brand, but as an idea... vlogger conference. At the end of the day, I don't care what it's called, but I think it would be wonderful if we could all agree to meet yearly to have a conference. Ideally I'd like to see the conference in different locals each year so those local or within driving distance could attend. I was able to get into vlogging because it only takes a video source and places like freevlog.org and blip.tv to keep the expenses to zero.
