Andrew, I agree that it would be cool having people make vlogs about focused topics. I also think the random personal ones are good. I'm not sick of those.
That said, developing some focused vlogs would be great. These vlogs would serve dispersed populations with common interests, and that can be really useful for that group. And being useful is a good thing. I'm someone who has eclectic interests and would enjoy dipping into what different niche progams are doing. And I'd also enjoy following few niches I really was obsessed with. I'm just thinking of some possible niches here: How-to art projects Gardening Woodworking Garbage (what happens to garbage in a community? What people work in the garbage processing industry? What garbage related problems are out there? What's the difference between one neigborhood's garbage and another?) All about a specific neighborhood skydiving Transportation activism (e.g. people who are trying to make NYC more bike, pedestrian, and mass transit oriented) So there are a lot, lot, lot of niches out there. and following a niche can be a great way do develop deep learning in a subject, which is great. Maybe Andrew's niche can be the need for niche vlogging. Wait, he's already got a niche! Well more like a canyon. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, andrew michael baron <andrew @r...> wrote: > Great, this is what I've been trying to say every time I go out of > the house: > > ". . .all you need is a topic in which a relatively large audience is > extremely interested, but that audience is too widely dispersed to be > served by traditional broadcast or cable television" > > Of course that's not ALL you need or anything at all that you need, > but its something I sure would like to see more of. > > Personally, I am tired as hell of seeing videoblogs (the most of > them) going on personal rants about videoblogging, video equiptment > and off-topic, unthreaded banter about night time dreams and trivial > activities. > > Pick a topic, a thread or a theme, and stick with it. > > Or dont. > > If you do, send me a link personally, I'd love to see what you are > doing with videoblogging that new. > > Lets be friends this way too. > > On Sep 14, 2005, at 2:07 AM, Navin Dhanuka wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > Robert Cringely about possibilities of more shows like NerdTV says > > that all you need is a topic in which a relatively large audience > > is extremely interested, but that audience is too widely dispersed > > to be served by traditional broadcast or cable television.
