I have no problem with calling what's happening on youtube "video bloging".
Great, awesome. I'm just glad there's a thing called a "video podcast" to distinguish between what youtube is doing in it's own closed and proprietary world and that which is compatible with software and hardware other than a web browser. This is to say, I'm glad that Apple and others major players have embraced a truely open medium and not simply youtube's proprietary version of it, and that this world is truely open and diametrically oppoesed to youtube. Given it's success I would hope that one day youtube will be forced to open up it's media, provide downloadable formats and a whole nother level of openness and accessibility. I think while the initial power of youtube may be fine and dandy, that increasingly the real power is in video podcasting... a *real* open access medium. Not some half measure. As more and more hardware like cell phones, wifi networked media players and set top boxes started coming out that support downloadable and aggregateable video I think hope this will undermine youtube's dominance and force it to change to compete.
