Perhaps, it is simply a situation that there are more white men than any other demographic who have the luxury of working at an office job that permits them to spend countless hours searching the net.
i'm one of those white male office workers and good point! (though i cant say it is a luxury ;-)
my 27 year old brother-in-law, who makes decent salary as a carpenter and is not using a computer all day, is clueless to things like 'blogs'. It's not that he cant afford a puter and cam (he has both) etc... he is just not a geek (i use that term broadly). More importantly, he has ZERO interest in videoblogging.
We need to remember that just because we are all into this thing... doesnt mean that everyone needs to be or will be or even should be. This includes all races and classes. Financially sound or not... the interest in vlogging is not automatic. It appeals to a certain type of people that is not based on anything more than personality.
their will always be more video watchers out there than video grabbers.
those who inevitably would like to vlog and have a need to learn... will find a way to the vlogosphere. i'm not big on convincing people. its a match or it aint. nothing to worry about.

Only if we know that it is "our outreach" which prompted them to
videoblog in the first place. Perhaps, it is simply a situation that
there are more white men than any other demographic who have the
luxury of working at an office job that permits them to spend
countless hours searching the net. As a result of this surplus of
time spent surfing the internet, they were able to find
videoblogging, follow the conversations on this list, and various
other resources and go out and start vlogging.
On the other hand, people outside of that scope, might need a more
intense outreach approach that is not focused on doing outreach over
the internet.
