Vlogs

Videoblogging is a new kid on the communication block. Now the first the question that strikes “What exactly is it?” Go through this article and you will find that it is something that you all know in a way or other. As you go through you will learn the beauty of this new trend and how it has become a part of the internet revolution.

Definition



Let’s concentrate on the word videoblogging. You got it right. No! Take another look - you are right - it’s simply “video + blog”. In short it’s also known as VLOG. In simple words a videoblog is a blog that contains video. The entries are presented with embedded video arranged in reverse chronological order.



History


The whole concept came into existence somewhere in the year 2000 in European countries. But got its due popularity in the year 2005. On January 1 2004 Steve Garfield placed his first videoblog and called “2004 the year of videoblog”.On May 2005 Steve Jobs announced audio and video podcast support in iTunes.



Explanation



Let’s take a in-depth look in the details of various aspects of vlog. It’s a motion picture which allows interactions and seen in motion like movies or clippings based around a blog or a user generated website where entries are made in journal style. A typical blog contains text image and links to other blogs. They are often displayed in reverse chronological order - listing item by time earliest to latest.


Vlogs often take the advantage of web syndication for the distribution of video over the internet using either the RSS format or ATOM syndication format. Web syndication is a form of syndication in which a section of website is made available for the other sites to use. This helps both sides in that the receiving end gets the benefit of the exciting features and at the same time the provider is getting its product advertised. This whole process is done by simply licensing the content so that other people can use it.


But like most old and new technologies vlog also has its own advantages and disadvantages. The greatest advantage of a vlog is that it has a mass appeal. It is different from the plain boring texts and it can make the same old thing more interesting. But among the few setbacks is hosting - a video blog requires quite a bit of server space, which can make it difficult to use.
