Hey, @chireerocks.

Technology has definitely come a long way, especially with the advent of the smartphone and its ability to record video. There have been so many advances in the last ten years or so that vlogging is not only an option, it's become the preference for many.

Unfortunately, too much of what I see is just someone talking. There's some forethought, but no major outlining. They just start and stop the recording as needed. And sometimes the thoughts are coherent, and sometimes they're not.

So, just like blogging, a person needs some skills to vlog. Cadence, speech patterns, word choice, getting to the point, facial expression and posture, tone—all of that needs to be in play and working for a vlog to shine. Background, graphics, some editing, sound and video quality, all matter. It should take a lot more time to do a proper blog than it does just a blog, because you're actually, planning, scripting, shooting, editing and then uploading.

So, I think there are certain messages that are easier to convey in a vlog, but will the net effect of the response be worth the effort. For some it will. For many, it won't.

I have been thinking about doing something on Dtube, but it's a process, it's going to take time to come up with something worthwhile, and I still should do some writing to flesh out what's said.
