...independent journalism? ...connecting people?
...the occasional interesting artistic tidbit? ...criticized for being too banal? ...an endless debate on what it really was? Now it's just myspace.com with video. And it's worse than blogging, with all the self promotion. People seem to act like the more they throw their link around, the better chance they have of being famous. It wasn't about that. Or maybe I was just being naive to think that something interesting/important like this would not be marketed from within by a bunch of sellouts. I see a few projects with a purpose coming together, and perhaps the communications part is still a major use of videoblogging. Maybe there's hope. I was never part of an old boy's network, but I was videoblogging when there were a handful of people on this list. I have seen this whole thing get transformed into something I don't like. I even once left this list because I was causing trouble by criticizing folks who spammed up the place with pseudo-philosophical ramblings about the nature of videoblogging rather than simply making content. It was kinda funny how some people who never really made anything had the energy and insight to define it... Well what do I know, my RSS feed shows only a handful of the glorious number of subscribers I once had (when I cared and tried), who wants to listen to me? I guess I will just scour fireant for the occasional gem, and stay subscribed to some of the stalwarts who crank out decent stuff. Bottom line: you videoblog, don't quit your day job. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> AIDS in India: A "lurking bomb."
