But - people who store video at Youtube and/or myspace ARE NOT VIDEOBLOGGERS. Videoblogging resembles podcasting in that you need something that's downloadable, that uses a podcasting/videocasting aggregator... and can do this automatically to your ipod/video/mp3 player of choice.
And youtube doesn't do that. Myspace is a little different - it's a geek world of it's own, with RSS, bulletins, pics, videos, etc... but Youtube is simply a storage place for video (and not the best one, either).
