Vlog and Moblog – The Future of Blogging

With ever emerging cell phone and video technology capabilities, we
are now seeing vlogs and moblogs come onto the blogging scene.
Vlog stands for “video blog” and is a blog which incorporates moving
video images into it. Moblog stands for “mobile blog” and refers to a
blog which allows the blogger to upload video and photos taken with a
camera phone or to even call in a post to their blog from their cellular
phones.


The goal of these new blog forms is still the same – get visitors to
come see what they are all about and then keep them loyal and
returning day after day, week after week. This can be an easier task
when your blog contains video and updates “from the field” via your
cellular phone. Just think for a moment about all of the interesting
things you could put on your blog. You could post about your
vacation, while you are still on vacation, and have pictures on your
vlog for all to see before you return home.

Vloggers and mobloggers are now using their vlog and moblogs to
create their own news and radio stations. Imagine being out for a
night on the town and a witness to something newsworthy. You can
shoot the footage with your cell phone and upload it almost instantly
to your vlog or moblog for the world to see. You could have your
images up before a traditional news crew could even arrive on the
scene, if they even made it there to witness the news in action.


Other vloggers and mobloggers are creating their own short films with
the same technology. Some use a webcam and record their own video
shows with them, edit them, and post them to their moblog or vlog.
This can allow them to create their own instant programs or short
movies. Think of the possibilities to being able to do this and the
amazingly large audience the internet can bring you to watch what you
have created!

The software industry is starting to see the value in the ability of
people to create these special enhanced blogs and is creating software
to make the process cheaper and easier. There are now affordable
options available for video creation and editing which are simple
enough for most people to learn and use.
