I personally define vlogging as blogging but utilizing videos.
But it does present an interesting issue, if vlogs are presented on
TV, is it still a vlog?
My personal answer is "no" because: Vlogs are interactive in nature.
You can communicate with the vlogger online, comment, critisize, find
out more about the vlogger. When the video is put on TV, it is no
longger interactive. It is now passive entertaimnent.
And for me that's the biggest charm and defining qualities of a vlog
from TV.
Showing vlogs on tv is not a bad idea, I just don't consider it a
vlog anymore and consider it more of normal tv.
There's my two cents.
Cheers all, Joan
