I don't agree. they understand it as 'subscribing' to 'something' to get audio. When you add video it's instantly recognizable as 'subscribing' to 'something' to get not audio, now video. > > > > dont forget, also T Whid, there is establishment in the videoblogging > community.... we had vloggercon.... and several projects and events use > 'vlog' in their names.

I'm not telling you to change anything I would encourage you to call it whatever you like. But I'm interested in explaining this stuff to people who may not know anything about it and the shortest possible route presently is 'video podcast.' Apple, Curry and others are pouring lots of time and dollars in making the podcast term understood by ordinary consumers. And presently the way they're defining it is broad enough that it doesn't conflict with the message I want to get out. Why shouldn't I take advantage of the education they're doing? It may come back to bite me in the ass, but for now it seems worth it. > > sull > > > > On 11/23/05, T.Whid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi Josh, > > > > It's more than simple 'buzz factor.'
