so, its out of context.
in talking specifically about the word 'show', i pointed out that it would be hard to call a corporate internal videoblog of boring meetings a 'show'.
might not be a practical example, but just making a point about the relationship of the words 'show' and 'entertainment'

I disagree. And so, what you are getting at here is the word "blog".
It is important. As you all know, I have always looked to the history
of "the blog" when discussing "format" for videoblogs. How can you
not when using that word?
Its not "personal vs. show" that distinguishes the qualities that so
many outspoken people here on this list focus on in order to separate
all of us into two camps where one does not get to use the word
"videoblog' because its show. We can also leave "podcasting" out of
it; Podcasting is a matter of fact: it is or it isn't because its
based on technology (rss enclosure), not format.
Videoblogging is more lose in definition because it is defined by
many factors, some technologically based, and others "format based".
When a word is in flux based on "format", then what you have is a
bunch of linguistic, metaphysical referents that do not have clear
borders. Like the word 'love' can not be defined.
Yet, in doing our best to not speak in universals when discussing
these things, we can notice patterns and attitudes, whether they are
informed or not.
With blogging, you have personal diaries, and you have show, but
there is so much more that it's silly to just focus on these two. Its
shortsighted because what we see now is only just the obvious. The
real beauty has yet to show itself, as more and more people begin to
consider these same questions.
