I spend a lot of time online every day. Between my freelance writing work and blogging I also read a lot of blogs online. A year ago I firmly believed that video blogging would become the next thing for bloggers on the net but now I have to say that perhaps I had it all wrong.
As far as I know, there are hardly any video bloggers out there and yet video sites like video.google and youtube are growing like mad with people submitting their videos as if they were paid to do so.
So what happened? Why hasn’t video blogging taken off? Don’t we love recording our life for the world to see - judging by the success of formerly mentioned sites and reality programs we do. So how come bloggers don’t bother with having a purely video content blog were they record a span of their life for others to see?
I don’t know these answers and can only speculate. Personally I don’t like to have every person in the world taking a seat on my couch to see what’s happening in the Mundell household. Privacy levels differ between blogging and video blogging. When we record a video we also show every emotion we feel at the time.
But by blogging we can be madly upset, stark naked, happy as chum or silly and nobody would ever know.
So, why have you not considered video blogging?
