Spoken like a true introvert. Seriously, though-- it's fair to ignore the audience and decide on a model in which vlogs are created, set out in the world, and what happens after that doesn't matter. For many people, the act of creation is motivation enough. However, I am an extrovert. Motivation to me means hearing back from people, participating in the creator/audience conversation in such a way that I do not ignore the audience, in fact, the audience is keenly important to me. So important, in fact, that I would stop videoblogging if I had no subscribers (stats bears this out-- I have very few subscribers to my audioblog and therefore rarely post to it-- it's the bastard stepchild of my blogs). Because of this, I do think there are "good" vlogs and "bad" vlogs, at least from my own aesthetic perspective, and I think that the "good" vlogs become more popular over time. I can't help it-- my aesthetic is pretty mainstream when it comes to video entertainment. When you create just for yourself, then you yourself will eventually say that one vlog post or another is bad, simply because it fell short of your expectations. When you create for an audience (or, your priorities include your audience as well as yourself), then you have a larger group capable of giving input on whether or not it's good or bad. --Stephanie -- Stephanie Bryant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blogs, vlogs, and audioblogs at: http://www.mortaine.com/blogs Yahoo!
