Video Blogging, Vlogging, VidBlogging and so on…
Its everywhere and its becoming a natural reaction for anyone wanting to express themselves on the web. I wanted to take some time to review a few of the different ways to engage in the act of creating a video blog posting, because there are lots of ways to get your content out besides the regular stops like YouTube and MySpace…
- FreeVlog.org
This site is very simple to use and offers a lot of resources for everyone, new and old to video blogging. The biggest resource on this site is how easy it is to get started and there is even a free tutorial that walks you through it step by step. Some posts are fun like “Videoblogs On The iPhone“, or informative like ” How To Install And Setup WordPress“.
- VideoBlogging.info
This is definitely an artists domain here observing the roots of early film making and how they feel it should transcend to the web. I was impressed by how many different ways people out there were using just static random shots to tell a story. The rules are simple: 60 seconds max. Fixed camera. No audio. No zoom. No edit. No effects.
- Vator.tv
Vator.tv is definitely a business driven video blogging site. The focus here is to give people with a business idea or existing model a way to connect with possible investors. Here its all about the “pitch” and how well you can sell your concept and find a venture capitalist willing to take a chance on it. There are definitely some heavy duty investors here, even Forbes 400 man Mark Cuban has a video post on there to tell everyone what he’s looking for when it comes to investment opportunities.
These were some of the highest ranking sites for the google keywords “video blogging”. It will be interesting to see what other kinds of sites come about that connect people together to just meet, speak their minds or do business with one another.
Hmmm maybe there is something to this “video on the web” after all…
