I know wse've had spirited debates on "vlogging vs videoblogging" on this list. I prefer the former but sometimes use the latter when I think the listener/reader might not understand 'vlogging'.
A friend who is somewhat hostile to my focus on Internet video called me a "vididiot" yesterday. He even suggested I might be a "vidiact" (meaning a video addict). I had to admit I lived in a "vidcentric" world and participated from time to time in what might be called the "vidocracy" of the Yahoo discussion group. All languages grow through the creation of new words. Time Magazine created the term "yuppie" several years ago. "Fanvid" is an accepted term on the Internet. My friend worried that I might someday become a "geek". My response was that I was a slow learner but hoped I might achieve that 'status' in twenty or more years. His response was that "geek" was not a label to be embraced, that it came from an old carnival term which meant "the one who bit off the head of a live chicken". anyone have any thoughts and/or suggestions for new terms we might start using in this new world of videoblogging?
