Yeah, you and Jen are right about the Vtech stuff. thanks for taking it out.
It arose from me wanting to put in more about YouTube and the increasingly blurred perception of what vlogging is, but not knowing where to start. The first line of the entry, I felt, excluded the idea and reality of vlogging as I imagine it's perceived by a lot of people and was limited to the point of being misleading to a newcomer. Anyway, to be discussed there, not here. Agreed that YouTube needs a lot more representation there. Hopefully some happy Vlogging YouTuber will pitch in.

There was a time, when I was so broken hearted, love wasn't much of a friend of mine. The tables have turned, yeah, cause me and them ways have parted, that kind of love was the killin' kind. Sorry, I wrote "there was a time" and Aerosmith just started spewing out all over the place. Anyhow, the entry has been the heart of some virile dispute in the past. I don't think the collective "we" should be policing it to ensure it's homogenous with this group, but I do think we should all edit add/ subtract as we see fit, whenever we desire. For example, right now I'm going to remove the V tech stuff. Not really vlogging-related. Also going to remove the Vloggies reference, as that was an awards show (self-congratulatory bs is not covered in the charter) sponsored by a company, and not directly related to the definition of videoblogging by any means. ps I think Irina et al are good peoples, but I have serious concerns with the idea of an awards show for videoblogging. They're pretentious and pointless, and belong on the wall of real estate offices, as Seinfeld said earlier this year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_OqvUbBNA4 pss There's only 2 mentions of YouTube in the entire entry, and they are in passing. Pretty insular. On 4/30/07, Rupert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yeah, what if he's the Wikipedia version of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, > and we're the Crazy 88? > > Bring it on.
