Weekend Edition - Saturday, August 6, 2005 ยท As a blogger on the
Internet, it's possible to post entries for all the world to read
about the biggest, or littlest, happenings in one's life. Now video
bloggers, or "vloggers," are adding a twist to the genre, documenting
their lives in mini-movies.
Laura Sydell reports on the growing community of people who are
turning their lives into grassroots reality TV. Though it has been
possible to put video on the Web for a long time, widespread adoption
of broadband access has made it easier for amateurs to do. In
addition, the advent of RSS feeds allows users to automatically
receive updates from vlogs they like.
Most vloggers admit they have a limited audience. However, among the
vlogging community there's a saying: Andy Warhol believed everyone
would have their 15 minutes of fame; vloggers say everyone will be
famous to 15 people.
