Here we go with the semantics again. Perhaps the root of the problem lies not in definitions but in the name of this group. It seems logical (to me, at least) that videoblog does indeed = video+blog. Therefore we're talking about video attached to/embedded in a web page, with RSS. comments and other features common to blogs.

So, if this is a videoblogging group, we should strictly be talking only about that.

However, there are lots of folks here who are interested in delivering personally-produced video content over the Internet, whether or not in the context of a blog. These people have the same technical problems as "real" videobloggers, so it makes sense for them to be here where they can get their questions answered and contribute in turn.

But no one likes to feel excluded from a group, hence their/my/our resistance to exclusive definitions of videoblogs.

Perhaps we can end the battle by stating once and for all that, whether or not what you're doing is a "real" videoblog, you're welcome here anyhow. At least, I think you are.
