Heck, I've been blogging for just 8 years now, and even in that amount 
of time I can see the value. I don't think many people take into account 
the long term archiving aspect of it.Steve Garfield blogged about a great article discussing this subject.  I can't remember the link, just did 15 different searches and couldn't find it.
Steve, can you point us to the link?It was about how to write so that future historians will find it useful.  Written by a woman. Mentioned Thomas Turner, I think.

[videoblogging] why people videoblog

[Jay dedman]

(i cant find the permlink)

This is a video asking why people just talk into the camera in some videoblogs.
this comes up every so often.
new people come into the fray...and wonder why people arent being more
creative or have more structured "content".

the video is by a guy in Boston who does this site:
http://www.culturalfarming.com/
(warning: the media nipple vlog has pictures of nipples eventhough its
about media literacy)
i belive he's coming from a TV background.

i really like this guy's work. ( i forgot his name)
he brings attention to the absurd and often harmful images/messages
that come through mainstream media. much needed.

I think his video deserves a response.
first, it always cracks me up when i hear: "real videoblogger".
though the Videoblogging group has some good insight since many of us
have seen it grow from the beginningno one is real or fake.
from the get-go, we always avoided pushing any kind of format.
we've tried to encourage anyone to do anything.
all we've ever asked is that people make a blog with video enclosures.
soon many other groups will form...each with their own philosophy.

what I realized was that i could record my life.
unlike many podcasts and all TV shows where I would seek for a large
audience, im bascially making a digital scapbook for myself(in the
future) and my friends.
i look back a year ago...and see how we were gearing up for
Vloggercon...my girlfriend and i had just met...i was living in this
little hole in upper manhattan with a couple of roomates who would
stay up late at night chainsmaking and bitching about the goverment.
my kids will love this.

In today's traditional media, there are no personal voices.
You have people like Bill Oreilly and Amy Goodman who get to record
and distribute their voices...why not ours?
remember that blogging is built on MANY small voices

i think that the Cultural Farming guy is frustrated because
videoblogging is so young.
more formatted shows are comingespecially now that the video iPod
is being hyped as a delivery device).
but i also like the weird personal vlogs that are almost like i
shouldnt be watching.
like i get to see someone just talk and be.
in 100 years, this will be gold because you will see what people were like.
while in 100 years, some daily show on technology will be curious pop culture.
IMHO
