Figmentations

No need to be bummed if you don’t have an ipod and can’t partake in podcasting. I’ve recently discovered vlogging. Kind of like reality television, these vloggers just are as they are. Check out some of the one’s I’ve found: vlogmania, Ryan’s vlog, and Momentshowing. And, that’s not to say that everyone has anything of interest to vlog about each week, but it’s still a day in the life of getting to know the vlogger. (As a side note, I would also add that some vlogger posts are not necessarily family friendly.)

Enjoy Video Blogging Week 2005 through mefeedia or technorati or see last year’s video blogging week 2004. Here’s what Video Blogging Week seems to be about: participating vloggers vow to post a video blog a day for one week and tag it to appear in one central location. However, I can’t quite figure out who started this trend and who declares which week this event falls on…apparently last year it was in June? …“Take me to your Leader.”

Will the corporate or business world ever latch on to such an event? Depending on the industry, it might not be a bad idea. If one is considering this, do your homework first, and definitely check out the post size and download times, they can get frustrating, but for good vlogs, it’s sometimes worth the wait.
