We're speaking past eachother, I think. There are two kinds of "videoblogging" - for the sake of the argument we can call one videoblogging and the other video podcasting.
The first includes aspects of the blog. It's a remediation of the blog and tv (among others). Think McLuhan. The latter is a transparent remediation of tv. It's faithful to tv. The difference is easiest to see in reading patterns. Videoblogging are read like blogs, they are small pieces loosely joined (by the reader). The latter is read like tv, one at the time. Seperated, passively. Read this for an intermission <URL: http://hypertext.rmit.edu.au/vlog/archives/2005/12/24/tv-killed-voggings-star/ > When I say embedded video gives the best reading experience for web video, I am talking about videoblogging. A blog entry is *not* the frames that make up the video. It is also the surrounding blog post, the comments, the title, the sidebar, the entire network around it (inbound and outbound links). That is what makes blogging different from old media. When you take the video and move it to an iPod it may be the same frames, but it is not the same Work - it is the same video, but a new media and different content. I make videoblogging, and my personaly interest is videoblogging. Content that works well in a videoblogging setting is different from content that works well in a video podcasting setting. Just as there is content which works better on tv than in radio (a boxing match comes to mind). Thinking they're the same is naive. - Andreas PS. Did evilvlog begin censoring itself?
