Re: [videoblogging] Re: The Video Blogger Is Dead
Thanks for taking the time to reply, Dave. I won't ask you to wade back through my overlong posts - I was obviously unclear, since you're arguing with points I wasn't making. I was talking about a specific *type* of videoblog which seems to have largely died out, following on from Clintus's video. I wasn't attacking YouTube - I was just saying that it hasn't been a very welcoming environment for the type of videos that I was talking about. I did try to spearhead a transition to YouTube a couple of years ago, but it didn't take. I'm not attacking you or chastising you for using YouTube. I think it's very inspiring that you've built such a successful videoblog using YouTube. Other people have their preferences and they voice them vigorously, so I'm sorry if they've attacked you for using YouTube - although I hadn't, and you argued with me that I had, so maybe you see more attacks than there actually are. Personally. I'm not that fussed - whatever works for the specific project and type of content. I'm working on two YouTube based projects right now using YouTube annotations. It's just that YouTube didn't work for the small community of people making this specific type of content a couple of years ago. So - no argument. Turns out from what Brook said that there is some of that type of content on YouTube, it's just that I haven't found it. So that's exciting. Still sad that the other stuff has gone, though.

At first I posted about 2 videos a week because everything was new and hadn't been told before. Now I average about a video a week. Of course I'm inconsistent - usually posting in spurts and then going away for a while. But the point is I'm still doing it because I wasn't aiming for fame or fortune.

The community that sprang up around it was really secondary (important but not my original motivation for videoblogging). The fact is I made a ton of friends that I still keep in touch with though I don't participate here nearly as much as I used to. To me it doesn't seem like videoblogging has died. It seems like it's evolved and become part of what people do (mainstream as Brook says) - just not what many do exclusively. - Verdi

Re: [videoblogging] Re: The Video Blogger Is Dead
You know I think a lot of us were attracted to this because of the technology (geeks at heart) then we found a voice! Then we wanted to share it. And hence a community was born. Now we are all so busy - and there is indeed so much out there to view. It is a time-space continuum problem for me, as much as anything else. Being here in Hawaii I have very opportunities to actually give you all hugs in person! We moved onto YouTube (also, not instead of) a few years ago. We get a few ugly comments over the years, but largely nothing at all to worry about. It has changed, the conversation has upgraded over there, and we just determined early on that that YouTube was big enough - and - we could carve out a little space for people who are into consciousness and beauty. Our content does not attract the trolls, which pretty much everyone (including the advertisers) are finally realizing do not bring value to the table, and hence those viral huge numbers (like Twitter followers) don't necessarily mean anything in and of themselves.
