Very well said. While I understand the desire to define videoblogging, it seems that a tight definition will exclude or intimidate some people who are trying to express themselves in this medium. Part of what attracts me to "videoblogging" is the wide diversity of expression that I find. A little bit of anarchy is not necessarily such a bad thing, especially when it comes to creative expression.
