Ha ha. Seriously, though, we might say that if videoblogging is a genus, then the various types of videoblogging (personal, citizen journalism, experimental, fictional, etc.) are species (which can cross-breed, obviously) and genres within those types (the usual ones, such as comedy, drama, etc.) are races, though race isn't really an aspect of scientific classification (and I wouldn't like to think that it could be). Maybe videoblogging isn't a genus, but a family, in which case the type of videoblogging is the genus and genres are species. Regardless, the analogy doesn't need to be perfect, and, needless, can't be. It's just fun to talk about videoblogging as if it were a living creature. Which, of course, it is. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).
