The polar plunge was definitely entertaining; as well as watching your wife and you interact. I could get my sound to work for some reason but the images were still interesting.

I know one of the things I do love video for is watching musical performances... fingers on instruments, mouths forming words... all creating sound... magical. Can't do that with text.

I’m a visual kind of a person myself. Even though I became aware of the vlogging phenomenon after youtube started, the prospect of vlogging captured my imagination the moment I found out about it. I was sick and tired of reading the tutorials on how to create certain effects on photoshop and flash and it was one of the first things that I searched in the youtube. The things I wanted to do in those applications were all of a sudden………achievable. Its fun to watch people do their everyday stuff and be able to comment to the actual people in the video. With the capabilities offered via the web, the rich form of knowledge sharing is now a reality. It’s true that there is no best form of communication. The comments from Michelle and Mr. Dedman reminded me of Channel Expansion Theory. Channel Expansion Theory accounts for experiential factors that influence the perceived richness of a particular channel of communication i.e. experiential knowledge can have positive influence on perceived media richness. The history of videoblogging video was really captivating. I remember commenting about it when Dr. Hall first posted it. This type of video is a real treat to watch as one can clearly see the creativity of the creator and the quality of the video. That is what I like about people like Mr. Dedman, Mr. Garfield, Mr. Verdi and the rest of the pioneering vloggers…….vloggers with a cause. The ‘richness’ that video brings along is what interests me.

I remember trying to text blog for about 2 years. I'd start a blog, write a little, and then "fail". But since I'm a visual person, videoblogging lets me record little moments in my day that I dont need to translate to text. I can just show you. Here's a god example of one: http://www.momentshowing.net/2008/01/video-a-story-t.html Ultimately, there is no "best" form of communication. I love to read since text is great at describing complex ideas. Sound and music is great at creating feeling. Video is good for making things real, as if you've experienced it.

I don't relate so strongly to video myself, and don't know what I'd do if I tried to video blog, but that's just me; I've always been a text-person rather than a voice-person and am just starting to develop that voice side of myself more. But what I am thinking about more generally is whether the growth of the web has encouraged more verdant communities because of the broader geographic access it enables? I wonder this because I keep ending up around various geek subcultures and I think, are people younger than myself more likely to be able to join these subcultures because they can find them at an earlier age?
