Yes, I know I did the same article as another student, but I’m writing a summary that’s more pro-video blogging, so it COUNTS!
I am not a Twitter fan at all. I do not see the point of wanting to keep up with a person every SECOND of their lives. Seriously, I don’t want to go home, open up my slow internet browser, and log into Twitter only to read: “1:00 – I’m going to the store to get toilet paper. 1:15 – Just got back from the store. Totally awesome! 1:17 – Crap. Just realized I left my phone in my car. Be right back. 1:18 – Just got my phone. Boy I was worried for a bit there.” Facebook does that enough for me. Please, people. Write things that will actually be of interest to me. However, you can’t deny that it’s fun.
Video-blogging (which most people call vlogging) is no different. There are a number of growing sites that now allow you to post Twitter updates in the form of vlogs. One site only allows you to do so for 12 seconds while other sites will allow you to post in high definition. With a wide variety of posting options, hardcore vloggers will be pleased.
Overall, this article was pretty cool, but the only way I can think to apply it to this class is by suggesting that we post vlogs on this blog every now and then. Hmm? Something to consider.
