Well I guess we have different interpretations of the term video blog. There are definitely Olympian videos not only ads. Profiles of different Olympians with their comments on the games and how they got there are all over that site. There are like 15 second Nissan Xtera ads on the front of them, but I never saw a video that was only an ad. You need to get off the home page and drill down to specific articles all of which have accompanying videos.
As for the ability to comment and interact, I'm old school and don't care about that and don't think that is necessarily the criteria for a video blog. To me, a video blog is any site that has video on it that I can play and control and save to my HD. <http://nbcolympics.com> -- Taylor Barcroft New Media Publisher, Editor, Video Journalist, Podcaster, Futurecaster Santa Cruz CA, Beach of the Silicon Valley URL http://FutureMedia.org RSS http://feeds.feedburner.com/FutureMedia iTunes http://tinyurl.com/8ql87 barcroft (gizmo) kungax (Skype) kungag5 (iChat-AIM) On Feb 13, 2006, at 5:03 AM, Steve Garfield wrote: > The whole beauty of putting video into blogs is that it enable a > conversation.
