Why don't peeps get more enthusiastic about social causes?
Why did vlogging become the generic term for posting video on the internet?
What good examples can we show where vlogging has already helped improve a social situation?
Sull, I'd like nothing better than to see vlogathon happen in a big way, what do you think we need to try and what social cause would be a good experiment?

The press appears to be cubbying peeps who make video (i.e., personal,
documentary, comedy, etc.) and vlog it into types, which is not
necessarily good or bad. I'm wondering if vloggers can leverage this
tendency.
Also, as you know, I'm particularly interested in education and
humanitarian projects and am curious how many vloggers have set their
focus on such projects.
More, I tried to drum up support earlier this week for Jon's Nata
Village
<http://natavillage.org>
endeavour, and I don't believe a lot of vloggers have yet blogged about
or re-vlogged the project though I did notice a few. Certainly a bit of
press for such projects, not only Nata Village, has the potential to
improve the finances, and in the Nata case that money, per the blog,
goes fully to the village. If I'm wrong and a lot of you have
participated by vlogging or directly donating I'll stand corrected,
which I would certainly prefer.
Does anyone have insight into how many vloggers have focused in on and
working towards a particular educational or humanitarian topics, I
think it would be cool to help the press see that category, not only
from the perspective of those in the category but for vloggers in
general.
Wasn't vlogging going to be a tool to help change / improve the world?
Wouldn't it help differentiate vloggers from those, who happen to be of
great number, who just post entertaining video (not that I have
anything against that, I attempt to do a bit of it myself)?
And speaking of saving the world, or at least the Internet, have a look
at this, is there a possibility it can help?

Perhaps it's the fine weather here in NYC today, I'm feeling there's an
opportunity to hack a few mountains out there. Can we make a list of
those vlogging towards a non-entertainment goal, a new category for the
press and for us?
