Hi everyone! This is my first post in my first blog. So many amazing things and so many first time things happened during the last weeks. Although there is only one day every week that we have classes in our program, I still feel very busy, for I spent a lot of time adjusting this new city, getting to know people here, attending different seminars and parties. I enjoy the city, the university and the life here so much. How amazing and excited!
Now I need to control my emotion and talk about something about my blog topic “Vlogging”. What is vlogging? The definition from Wikipedia is that Vlogging is the short form of Video Blogging sometimes also called vidblogging. Vlogging is a form of blogging for which the medium is video.
As CNN once published that with the proliferation of devices like the video iPod, the vlog boom is on. (http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2006/05/01/8375939/) Vlogging saw a strong increase in popularity beginning in 2005. More and more people prefer using vlogging to express their ideas and show their life. It totally different and more challenging and attractive than blog and podcasting, for audience can have direct visual impact instead of the simple long article or audio works.An increasing number of vloggers enjoy and share their video on the website such as Yahoo, Youtube and also their own vlogging. That is why these kind of webs are such extremely popular in resent years.
Now, let’s get to know vlogging and the content of vlogging in other people’s eyes . http://www.wired.com/entertainment/music/news/2005/07/68171
Also, enjoy the latest vlogging here. http://www.vlogblog.com/
Although I am still a fresh new blogger, I hope some day I can share my information and happy life with you by videos and become a vlogger. Next time, I will find out how to make a vlogging and share it with you.

Hey Lu!
ReplyDeleteI have noticed an increase in the number of "vlogs" lately so it seems to be catching on quickly. I am happy to see that people are stepping away from the anonymity of blogging and showing their faces now! Looking forward to your vlog!

Lu, I think it would be great for you to work in some of your own vlogging for this assignment! Vlogging is pretty interesting- On one hand, it makes expressing ideas easier and faster since people no longer have to sit down and type out what they're thinking or feeling. It can be much more organic and natural since everything is being recorded in the moment. On the other hand though, you can come across language barriers which prohibits the sharing of ideas.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm a frequent internet forum user and I'm able to communicate with users from Europe, primarily Germany and Austria. Typing allows us to communicate because they're proficient in writing in English and feel comfortable doing so. If we solely had vlogs to rely on, communication would be much harder as I don't know any German, and they feel less comfortable speaking English compared to their native language. So while vlogging definitely has benefits, there are also limitations with it.
Amber, I agree with you that sometimes it is true for people to express themselves by writing in Eglish can be easier than speaking Eglish. I think vlogs can be part of our communication platform which can be more intereting and funny. Just as you said, vlogs can not be the only thing we rely on to communicate. We also need technologies like MSN that allow us to chat with others freely at the same time, twitter to share our information quickly to a lot of friends, etc.
ReplyDeleteAll these different sort of interactive platforms make our life more colorful, convinient and also busier.
I am glad that you introduced the idea of Vlogging and I have bengan doing my own research on vlogs. In some situations I feel that it is important for people to own up and show their face so that they cannot hide behind their keyboard!
