I don't know if you academic in the way of 'as related to work done at
universities' or academic in the way of 'having no practical purpose'.
There's a huge difference. The first I can agree with to an extent - no
one is doing much about this, and if it takes academics to put the
spotlight in the topic, I don't know why that should be a bad thing. The
second is a bit silly and possible a bit insulting.

I didn't say that interactivity is a requirement, or that content created
with interactivity is automatically 'better' than content created without
('better' being impossible to determine anyway). I'm saying there is
bloggy video, and there is non-bloggy video and they're not the same. I'm
saying that there are multiple factors that make up a videoblog and one of
these factors is how bloggy the video content is. And I'm saying that a
videoblog with non-bloggy video is not as 'bloggy' as a videoblog with
bloggy video. I'm saying there is this and there is that and that's how it
is.
Personally I would like to see people trying to make more bloggy video. I
like the web, and I like to explore how video and the web (ie. the blog)
can be combined and benifit from each other. Some times I get very
impatient because I don't want to wait 10 years until regular people
figure out that you can do more than just same old video on the web.
It's not like interactivity automatically implies grandiose performance
art pieces. Simple links to what you're talking about is a great thing.
Whenever I hear things like 'As Johnny said yesterday...' in a videoblog I
cringe because there isn't a link to Johnny's blog post, and there is no
reason why there shouldn't be a link there.
