Revolt!

This is a video on YouTube, a web site for video blogging or vlogging. Text blogging certainly hasn't proven very effective for any of my goals. My blogs don't get any comments except for spam and they don't drive any traffic to my web site. I think text blogs are just being used to improve Google Page Rank by creating one way links to web sites which improves link popularity. Video blogs are fun to watch and clearly generate a lot more communication. At least they get more response. Personally I prefer written communication and don't like to see myself on video but there may be a way around that. I don't even like talking on the phone.

I have some experience in multimedia production because the web development company I worked for did some projects involving video using Flash and DVD. We did a web site for a doctor using streaming media to deliver videos about various common medical conditions. And we did promotional videos for a hospital and a college student who wanted a DVD for his college admissions application. I mostly tested the custom Flash interfaces for these projects. And I did a lot of programming in Director to develop an application for putting together a video piece.
