Steve Garfield says: "I think the majority of internet users find videos the same way they find interesting blogs and blog posts."   Could you suggest a stragedy?  For instance, there are 14.2 million blogs.  If I wanted to see what they said about a subject, (I'll pick something obscure like "Somalia"), couldn't I just type in "Somalia" to find them?  Actually, I never got into blogs because the sheer magnitude overwhelmed me. Maybe, I am just being uninformed here.  Perhaps blogs aren't indexed by search engines like news stories & other stuff.   My point is that search engines dealing with written material can search through news stories, etc. for mentions of "Somalia" and give you the list.  However, if Steve Garfield had a vlog entitled (making this up of course) "My years in the military" and that vlog included accounts of what it was like to be one the ground during the brief time U.S forces were there, no search engine (I don't believe) could find that subject in the content of the video.  I suppose that is what "tabs" are for.  But "tabs" could never list all the things in the video--or could they?   If I wanted to find all the vlogs dealing with travel to Indonesia, how would I search for them? ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Garfield To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 12:14 PM Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Good instruction book for Mac beginner You bring up a good point. Who would go to the New York Times looking for a blog? David Pogue fans would. Subscribers to his emails would. People who don't know what RSS is would. My mom would. The Kong is King and Superman movie videos from behind the scenes don't have RSS 2.0 feeds and seem to be very popular. RSS feeds and aggregators are useful for some, but I think the majority of internet users find videos the same way they find interesting blogs and blog posts.
