CBC lockout XXVI: Flexibility, innovation and Vblogging
Who says we're not flexible and innovative?
As one of our union negotiators keeps telling the other side, "you get 90-day ideas from 90-day people and five year ideas from staff people."
Well I really hope it never comes to this. (And if it does it will be weeks, not years)
But at today's Toronto tech meeting for the CBCunplugged alternative site, we had a brief discussion of Vblogging. That's on the very bottom of our to do list, but it's there, just in case.
Yipe! some of my friends who last week had never even heard of podcasting may say. "What is Vblogging?"
Vblogging, of course, is Video blogging.
One site, vBlog Centra1 says
Vloggers even had a small convention in New York last January. You can see some of the convention video here.
If you have a Mac, you'll see better stuff on the macTV Videocast site and note Mac has tied this to Itunes, one of the legitimate sources of music for Ipods. (and so there is a connection with podcasting)
Steve Rubel of Micropersuasion has created an index of his posts on Vlogs, including a story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Registration required) on how American Christians have leaped on vblogging to spread their word.
And here is what Wikpedia says on Vlogs
Quote:
The alternative news site is going to be text, followed by audio. This is sort of retracing the evolution of the media. A text site (print) followed by audio (radio) and there is a lot of work to be done on that, a lot of work. After radio, of course, came television.
There are a lot of talented people out on the street from CBC television. If someone can do a vlog from their living room or a small church can use it to spread their gospel, imagine, just imagine, what the producers, camera people, artists and technicians of CBC TV could do with this--if we had to.

There's been streaming video and video clips on the web for 10 years. But now cheap cameras, inexpensive servers and the pace of technology has meant that the video blog is coming up fast, very fast.
Videos, even low quality ones, make a blog much more interesting. When you put video in your blog you get a videoblog, or vblog, for short. They are also known as vidblogs, vlogs, or vogs

There is a small but growing number of vloggers who feel that videoblogging transforms the Internet into a medium in which people can communicate audiovisually through personal video posts and globally network with people as well as to create new independent programming and content not controlled by major broadcasting networks or cable outlets. These practices revolutionize online communication.
