My bad. I had a feeling it meant video + blogging...Perhaps I'll create a short vlog when I travel this year...I'll keep it under 5 minutes. I have a tendency to skip videos that are more than 8 minutes, unless they're really interesting... </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/has-anyone-heard-of-vlogging#post-1507 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:19:43 +0000 Trisha Miller 1507@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Actually it's not exactly new, but vlogging is just a contraction of video+blogging....</p> <p>Basically it just means creating a video of your blog post, instead of typing it. I've seen a few Vlogs, and most of them have a brief text intro to their blog (vlog) post, but no more than that - you have to watch the video, rather than read a post.</p> <p>Personally, I don't care for these types of blogs - I'm a busy person, and generally I scan a post quickly to determine if it's going to be worth the investment of my time and attention to read it fully. I don't have time to wander around the internet watching videos.</p> <p>Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but it seems like the vast majority of people I meet and speak to are like me - very busy......it could be why this form of blogging isn't really getting 'hot' and why maybe you're just hearing about it.....it isn't really popular.</p> <p>That's not to say it won't get popular - who knows where the fickle winds of popularity will blow - but it won't catch on with me.</p> <p>If you do try it, I'd love to know so that I can check back with you on how it's working out! </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/has-anyone-heard-of-vlogging#post-1506 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 08:31:55 +0000 Angela 1506@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I heard "vlogging" used in the travel community. Has anyone else heard of this? What does this new <em>buzz</em> word mean? Thanks! </p>
