Meet Bob and Judy, First Vloggers -: "Today, Bob and Judy have access to cheap video equipment that fits a shirt pocket, or sits like a little eye in the frame of your computer screen, ready to make 'television' at the flick of a switch. The resulting 'shows' can be transmitted worldwide in a matter of minutes, bypassing TV networks, national governments and pretty much any regulation. They're shows that don't need an audience to justify their existence, don't require commercials to support them, and needn't fit any pre-existing formula. The golden age of public access television is now!
Today's versions of Bob and Judy are probably vlogging -- blogging in video. I've tried it myself (here's a recent rumination on punk rock), but I prefer my LiveJournal friend Jordan Fish's efforts. In one show Jordan uses, in quick succession, all the filters in iMovie, in another he demonstrates how making tea with Social Biscuits can cure anti-social impulses."
