I'm with you, Susan. In fact, I hereby declare that I was calling them video podcasts _before_ Apple started promoting them as such. When we first listed on iTunes a few months ago I made sure to use the term in the description that goes out with our iTunes feed. Not that I want a medal or anything.
In new media lingo today, "video podcast" demands little further explanation, but what the hell is a vlog to most people? The term just hasn't become mainstream, so let's move on. I know to some people the whole vlog thing is a citizens' media revolution, and they demand some sort of distinct term on that basis, but to others it's a vehicle to get out content that they enjoy producing and/or believe may be enjoyable or informative to others. They'll describe it using the term that their target audience is most likely to understand.
