  • SebastianX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Must read! Vids w/o transcript and summary simply suck.
    • robbh66, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Here's another bit of news: I don't want to read your blog either.
  • suprdiggr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Completely agree, video blogging is not as easy as blogging, or even podcasting. With video blogging we have to see you, and you know, vision sense is the most important of the senses. So if you don't know how to do it right you will surely be labeled as a sucker video blogger, and those are the most part of the video bloggers.

    If you do it right, though, you can have very good results. Not sure? see http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/
  • nsummy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I fully agree. The same goes with sites like cnn. On their front page I will see a story that sounds interesting, only to find that they only have a video of the story and not any words. Maybe it's just me that feels its easier and I accomplish more reading instead of watching. Of course I also like to work out simple math on paper rather than use a calculator like all of my friends.
    • KMye, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I hate CNN for that especially when there's absolutely no reason for offering it in video, let alone only in video. Why do I want to listen to some B-grade newscaster read highlights of an AP wire while watching stock footage when I could just read it??

      btw - @nsummy do simple math in your head, and then don't think more of yourself for it and brag about it online, k? :P
  • borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4nude? I saw nothing nude...
  • daleng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0As for me, I like to watch the video and read the blog.
