I think that, once again, we're splitting hairs. If you ask "is this useful to the videoblogging community," when some people definte videoblogging as (roughly) "having all the features of a blog AND including video," then perhaps Stickam is not useful.

But I suspect that the average citizen (outside this group) who is interested in distributing video online may not care about RSS, portable devices, etc., but is simply looking for a way to share video online with a fairly small group of people, e.g. video of the new baby going to the grandparents, at least as a first step.

If you want to get people videoblogging, perhaps something like Stickam is a good place to start, before you scare them off with the alphabet soup of terminology. When/if they get interested in a wider audience, they'll be back to learn about all the bells and whistles. And they're not stuck with Stickam if they don't want to be.

I did note that Stickam has a nicely designed interface which is easy to use and explains what it wants. My only problem is that it failed to actually upload and process my video, and did not tell me why.
