The (v)blogging craze
Matt Jones among others were talking about vblogging today. I’m still not too sure about vblogging, it takes more time than normal text blogging like this one. The natural next step is to have audio blogging (ablogging?). It is as easy to create as writing, maybe faster even, harder to edit though. But there is a difference between normal text blogging and both vblogging and ablogging and it is the same thing that is different between print journalism and broadcast journalism.
The difference between normal blogs and vblogs and ablogs, I see it as more of a problem than just a difference, is the length of time it takes to go through each post. With reading it is easy to skip ahead, to not read entire posts (which I guess you could still do with a vblog or an ablog) or to easily reread short passages or sentences that you did not get the first time through. None of these things are as easy when you have some form of A/Vblog.
Anyways, those are my thoughts on vblogging, maybe I will try to start up an ablog here. Or maybe I will have a mix of what I currently have and an ablog.
