It's precisely because I can't skim (to say nothing of avoiding the time listening to advertisements) that I never click on videos on even the mainstream news sites.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, glad you're still around! I will also continue blogging, as often as I'm able, until I die.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-5241186932877876202007-07-07T09:20:00.000+09:002007-07-07T09:20:00.000+09:00Congratumalations!As for vlogging surpassing blogg...Congratumalations!<BR/><BR/>As for vlogging surpassing blogging, I suppose we'll have to wait and see. Television certainly had a tremendous influence on radio, but it didn't spell its demise (even though a lot of people thought it would (and despite what the Buggles might have thought)), so I suspect that something similar will happen in the blogosphere--change, not demise.<BR/><BR/>Will the blogging craze die down? Yes, probably, but perhaps not in the way that people suspect. That is, it is possible that blogs will become so commonplace that it will no longer qualify as a "craze." But that may be overly optimistic.<BR/><BR/>Whatever the case, it's good to know that Hairy Chasms will be around, pumping out quality content at a rate that some sites (I will mention no names) could never hope to match.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-32844059890722625102007-07-07T07:48:00.000+09:002007-07-07T07:48:00.000+09:00I disagree about Vlogs.

I think they will gain in popularity, but that they won't overtake the traditional text based blog.<BR/><BR/>There are a couple of reasons for this. Primarily that to make a video takes a lot more work to do well then to type something out. Though it will get easier it's still going to take effort to get something that looks good. <BR/><BR/>Secondly it's not really possible to skim a video blog to get a general idea of the content and is thus requiring a greater commitment from viewrs. Honestly how many video blogs are you going to go back and watch all the archives? It's this second reason that I can't be arsed to follow any podcasts. I think podcasts are great in theory, but don't work for me in practice. Maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy but that's the way I see it.<BR/><BR/>Happy blog birthday.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989187729918340070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-14973501537710925712007-07-07T01:12:00.000+09:002007-07-07T01:12:00.000+09:00Happy Barfday, BLOG!!Happy Barfday, BLOG!!Jellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527405263030519383noreply@blogger.com
