Vlogging and Video Sharing

Blogs are in. They are a hit. No doubt about it. On the horizon, Vlogging, or video logging. Still for the more technically savvy, this addition to weblogging could become a new sensation. As blogs have changed news and politics, vlogging could change local news. Imagine turning to your local vlogger for the 6 o'clock news instead of NBC.

Just as bloggers have sites like Flickr to share photos, vloggers have sites like jusspress.com, to share moving vidoes with each other. One of the first sites to have video sharing with full motion and stereo sound, JussPress claims to be the easiest to use too. Here is part of my email conversation with one of the founders.

"You just drag and drop a video and we resize, transcode video to Flash video, upload, and host the video. People don't need to know how to encode video or even download video plugins since Flash is installed in about 98% of browsers. You can also post the video to a blog."

It seems like a good evolution in a fast changing medium, the question is when will it catch on?
