Re: [videoblogging] Re: Public Eye - West Coast RocketBoom Clone

I standby my claim: you have a lot to learn about new media. I would start by having a look at the blog format and asking yourself how blogging is different from writing for a newspaper.  Would you say the Boing Boing is just doing the same thing as the New York Times? Or, if you are like most personal videobloggers, ask yourself 'how is a blogging different than a writing a personal diary?" Once you mull that over for awhile, you may be more prepared to start considering how video on a blog is different than video on a TV. That's just one angle, but it may be a good starting point. It may be important to take into consideration not only how they are different, but how each platform informs the content as well. Duncan: i don;t think this is a valid difference in terms of content.. it is referencing the medium it exists in. There have been (too) many television shows that cut to clips of other tv shows, so an online show that references other online shows is only natural.. and andrew, yes you have possibilities.. but i was ONLY talking about the style of the show, not what it represents.. it was not a criticism, i was just pointing out that is unfair to say that other online news (i use that term VERY loosly ;) ) shows shouldn't be accussed of ripping off rocketboom just because they are irreverant and/or have a single female presenter. It's like saying Bill Hicks rips off Richard Pryor because they both stood alone on stage telling jokes. SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Use YAHOO!
