Re: [videoblogging] Define....
Jeffrey,First of all, thanks for your kind words about rocketboom!Second of all, keep in mind that this list consists of approximately a skizillion people, and you'll find that those conversations you're talking about are carried on by a small minority. I've been on the list for about 7 months (which is a bout 50 vlog years) and, all in all, the people are very cool and most of them recoginize that the arguments are silly. In fact, some of those who are involved in those types of discussions even recognize they're silly but find them entertaining. (I must admit, secretly, don't tell anyone, that I actually find a pervese enjoyment myself in reading long threads involving arguments about silly things interspersed with flames and attacks ... good drama to me). Also, just to throw in a shameless plus, I did officially end the whole issue of what a vlog really is in one of my earliest videos, so all these other arguments are just after thoughts. http://www.richardshow.com/2005/06/richard-defines-video-blog.html...

Re: [videoblogging] Define
No kidding!Something that not many people realize is that in terms of the corporate media, we are the product.Corporate advertisers are the customers.Be careful of how you define this medium, as the first one that the corporate media can co-opt and exploit is the one that will stick.I am for either defining it as a right to be heard/a right to a visible outlet for my opinion/my public voice (please go with the spirit of the words instead of picking them apart) or not defining it at all. If we define it in terms that the corporate media can pollute: viewers, entertainment, media outlet, etc, then it will go the way of the information superhighway.later, RonOn Dec 18, 2005, at 2:24 PM, Jeffrey wrote: Journalist of the NYTimes and WSJ - H role models H... the good guys right?

Re: [videoblogging] Define Videoblogging
oxymoron alert! there is no such thing as a correct model otherwise it would not be a model all models are approximations someday even physicist's will realize this and stop looking for the right one once a model is stamped correct, all you have is dogma Enric wrote: That model may be incomplete or innacurate, but it should be proposed and tested against competing models until the correct model is determined.

Re: [videoblogging] Define Videoblogging
I don't understand the need to "strictly define" videoblogging except to separate individually (or collectively) produced "independent"video from advertising trailers promoting a commercial product (movie trailers, etc.) The independence of unfettered personal _expression_ is key to defining vlogging in my mind.
