That he does, I am usually not enthused with most of the vloggers and reading is much faster than listening to a video or a podcast. It is funny with the vloggers, many of them are on forums and you have an expectation of what they should sound like. One that I don't listen too, but did listen to a couple of videos is The RPG Pundit. From his avatar and his posts you are expecting some deep voiced old curmudgeon and yet he sounds like a teenager and much less confident speaking than you would expect. |

Maybe someday The Perilous Dreamer will do a vlog, I expect him to sound much more masculine and much more authoritative than the Pundit, who to me is just annoying and kind of whiny. |

You guys are all much more immersed in or at least familiar with this world of blogs and podcasts than I am. The whole podcast format is not suited to me.

I do not really like vlogs (video blogs mostly on youtube, but other places too) they take too long to listen to. The same goes for podcasts which are sound only. Since the algorithms on youtube don't like anything really short, many vloggers pad their content to get it out into the 12-15 minutes or so length, which IIRC is a so-called sweet spot for length. So they repeat the same thing several times and turn a one minute read into a 12-15 minute video. Now blogs I like, because one I can read them, which means it is pretty quick to get through a blog post. Also because blog posts rarely take more than 3 minutes to read, you can read a lot of them in a short time and they tend to go into depth or cover topics that many forums are not friendly too. |

I rather doubt that I will ever do a vlog. It would require a major upgrade in my technology (computer) plus adding a lot of technology that I do not currently own. I also think that blogging is a much better use of my time, than creating a video. Maybe (big maybe), if I had all the technology, I would do a vlog post for things like Dave Arneson Day or the like. I have spoken in front of TV cameras from all the networks for things that I have organized and on the job I have given presentations at conferences in rooms with up to 600 professionals, so I am not nervous about doing it, but I could not pad the time, I would have to get to the 12-15 minutes that was mentioned without padding. Also the whole idea has never grabbed me. |
