Good call. Even knowing that you said it was on the bottom of the page, it was nearly impossible to find and recognize as something leading to a video.

Thats been my experience. Print media doesn't really do a whole hell of a lot for traffic, and what it does bring doesn't last long. It does bring other benefits though. I had one minor bit of experience with mainstream radio, and television both brought small spikes in traffic. I was interviewed for local television last week, this will be a longer form interview (for local news-thats 3 minutes). Which is due to be broadcast next week. It'll be interesting to see what kind of traffic that generates. I would expect that this kind of press would be better for Blip than the individual vlogger, since Blip is a business and a service that people who read the WSJ might be more interested in.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip / Alive in Baghdad / Josh Leo in the news
Yeah, most press I've gotten doesnt usually bring all that much change in traffic, except for the couple times on NPR becausedrum roll, please...they actually link to content!!! Not even the SF Chronicle links to my site when they write about me, which is weird since they consider themselves techy. Congrats to all! I love Mossburgs collumns and being noted by him is a very good thing in my book.

[videoblogging] Re: Blip / Alive in Baghdad / Josh Leo in the news
I became totally distracted whilst watching his video because his beard seemed to be lopsided! This reminds me that one reason I originalyl loved the concept of vlogging is it can smash through the unreal world of mass media where your face normally needs to fit, only beautiful people need apply etc. Ahh just wait till more Birts get online, then see how the American stereotype of Brits having bad teeth is, erm, re-enforced! Anyway being from the UK and not particularily observant, Ive never heard of Mossburg before but it seemed like an interesting article. His focus on TV possibly confused what the term videoblog might mean, ie there was no mention of blogging, and I felt he perhaps overstated Apple's role in things a tad. I mean I guess iTunes helped Rocketboom but Im sure it was already popular before then, and Id always like to see alternative desktop aggregators mentioned (to be honest I thought there'd be more of those by now!). Do sites/services generally have to be pro-active to get a mention from the likes of Mossburg? Whilst the focus on the TV show aspect of things means its maybe understandable sites like Mefeedia dont get mentioned, but then again not everything on blip is a show, h.
