To me, short means less than 1.5 minutes. "Standard" means up to 3.5 minutes (that sounds more exact than I mean for it to be. It's not like I sit at my desk with an egg timer). Past 3.5" and I start wondering...but sometimes I'm so captivated that I don't notice the time flying by. Luckily my schedule allows for rambling daily vlog-watching. There are a couple of videoblogs things that tie me to my computer for way longer than 3.5".
I like shorter posts because it means I can pack more real-life-artsy-whacko-short-film- concert goodness into my day all at once. That's pretty much the only reason. Short and sweet. Sweet. --Bekah htttp://www/missbhavens/com ps: I think your videos are a good length, whatever that is. I like them so much I never stopped to wonder or check how much time had elapsed while watching...maybe THAT'S the definition of "good". --- In [email protected], "hpbatman7" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have noticed a lot of short="good" what is considered "short" > under 5 minutes? > > > --- In [email protected], "Stephanie Bryant" > <mortaine@> wrote: > > > > On 3/10/06, hpbatman7 <heathparks@> wrote: > > > Honestly, if > > > > someone isn't funny, I eventually stop watching their personal > vlog. > > > > Why?
