I think the discussion of why people videoblog is very on topic.

Absolutely not. I started videoblogging as personal experiment to develop my story telling skills and I continue to do to document my life, to connect with others, and because I think the democratization of media is a good thing for the world. > And so I believe you reject that idea which causes > irrationality when there is nothing wrong with that being one of the > components to what you are doing. I reject it because my purpose for videoblogging has nothing to do with my own personal celebrity. If that was the main purpose behind it I'd have to say that I've been pretty unsuccessful at it. Certainly no where near as successful as you have. I've become, like Josh said in his answer to you, basically famous to the same group of videobloggers that are just as "famous" in my eyes. That was one of the very funny and strange phenomenon that occurred for everyone at VloggerCon and, I'm told, at VloggerCue. Verdi ------------------------ Yahoo!
