Hey Terry, Do you mean "insulated", or "inculcated" or "indoctrinated"? I'm not trying to be a smart-arse, I'm just not sure what you might mean by becoming insulated by this group.
I think it's interesting that it took so long for you to discover vlogs. In my case, I discovered them early this year because I had sort of assumed they would exist as a natural offshoot of blogs. So I went looking for them, and before I knew it I was a vlogger. Funny how people like us come wandering along and discover a subculture. If we want to be "stumbled across", I think maybe people have to give up on this word "vlog" as being a way to describe what we do to a general audience. I'm sure there are people who don't really care whether the world in general looks at their vlog. But I think if you want people to find you, it's a good idea to include terms like "podcast", "video podcast" and "video blog" somewhere on your site. In my view these are much more likely to be punched into search engines than "vlog". What I'm saying is, use the v-word amongst vloggers but maybe less so when talking to the rest of the world.
