My though on Themed Content Vlogs -VS- Personal Content Vlogs is that both will "Thrive" depending on which side of the "Thriving" coin you look at. Rocketboom is a good example of a VLOG with a theme that has a thriving subscription base. However a quick look at vlogmap shows me at least how much the personal vlogs are thriving. I think we are seeing a HUGE proliferation of vlogs, the fast majority of which may be personal vlogs, although there will be a thriving community of personal vlogers few will have a personality that generates a large subscription base for their vlogs. The few who are able to develop a theme and a show like approach will have a better chance at developing a thriving subscription base but as with anything there will be exceptions. That is the excitement!! Those with popular, innovative, entertaining ideas, and those who can truly educate, but are limited by "Cash" or "The Man" can overcome those limitations through vlogging and can reach the audience they so richly deserve be it 50,000 daily who love Rocketboom, or 75 people who want Yamadori Tips. And those who are less focused topic wise aren't penalized for it, those with the personality can generate a following of fans, and those who's only interest is ensuring that grandma, and a few cousins who scattered the globe have the latest video of the kittens in the barn or the kids learning to ride a 2 wheeler can do so, and be on equal footing with their distribution capabilities as CBS News regardless of how many viewers they have. Welcome to the future. Television has Evolved. The visual medium is now for everyone. Soon everyone will have a voice. Not every voice will be popular, but all will have an opportunity to be heard. -Chris http://www.theramblingloggerhead.com __________________________________ Yahoo!
