You make me think far too often :)
Here's something...as the content that vlogging produces gets more
widely accessed it (hopefully) also will create a very large desire to
make it even more accessible (like a couple of months maybe?). As the
means to distribute and view vlogs expands, it will escape it's
definitions. Just like movies that are now available on tv, etc.
Radio on satelitte...
I think we already can post a clip to a site and it houses it, and has
a feed available to be picked up by the aggregators. (Not sure where
'cause I like my vlog sites too much) No site, just profile info,
that's all. Would this be more widely used? It would remove the
interactivity (comments) from the current vlog 'model'...is that part
of the definition of a vlog?
Will vlogging also slip loose the RSS and enclosure ties then?
Once the interactivity is gone, it would be no different than other
forms of visual media. So, the question then is what differentiates
these different forms of media? If you take all the commercialism,
means of viewing the media and the subject of the media what is left?
I pick motive. What motive drove the creator to create? Commercials
want to sell you something, television shows and movies want to
entertain you/move you, documentaries want to educate you and news
shows want to inform you. What motive was behind a vlog...could be
any of the above. Unfortunately the movies and television, news and
maybe even documentaries are in most cases on a profit model. Even if
the documentary wasn't, the channel that brings it to you is selling
the air time to commercials.
A vlog was born from a blog and a blog was born from a log, a journal...
(jour·nal n. A personal record of occurrences, experiences, and
reflections kept on a regular basis;)
So the motive behind a vlog (and I think in almost every case I seen
this is still true) is to record our occurrences, experiences, and
reflections. Boiled down to it's core, isn't that it?
So, vlogs that would be commercials, will be. Would-be actors and
actresses will or won't be famous via their vlogs. Will that stop any
of us from 'writing in our log'?
