The Vlogging Revolution

By now, you've heard of blogs -- a rather unfortunate sounding word. Well, this year you've got another, equally clumsy sounding word to wrap your head around: vlogs.

A vlog is a video blog. [Those of you who still don't fully understand the ramifications of "blogging" will now feel like you're back in math class, when you didn't quite get the right answer for x, and therefore missed (x - 2) too.]

Just as TV and the newspaper work in harmony (well, maybe more like direct competition) to give you news, so vlogs and blogs bring complementary types of information to your online table. Newspapers are continuing to replace boring ol' print with splashy color photos in an attempt to catch customers attention because TV is winning the game. We wonder if blogs and vlogs run that same race. A vlog is a blog in which writing is replaced by video clips, and it is the next revolution in personal media being dispersed over the internet.
