2005: Year of the Vog or Vlog?

Posted on December 30, 2004

If 2004 was the year of the blog, 2005 might be the year of the vlog, or video blog. Bloomberg reports that "Thousands of ordinary (and some downright nutty) people have begun posting a cornucopia of video fare online, from self-indulgent art clips and earnest citizen journalism to sly political commentary." Bloomberg calls some of the people creating vlogs "downright nutty."

Bloomberg is expecting millions of video blogs to bloom in the near future. There is still debate over which word to use: vog or vlog -- but there is sure to be rapid growth in video blogging thanks to the continuous movement of web users from dial-up to broadband. Rapidly developing online video sharing technology and faster computers is helping to aide the video blog explosion.
