Vlogs and Video Aggregators: Next-Generation Entertainment and Journalism
Friday, 8 June | 10:45 – 12:15

As sure as the soapbox turned into the blog, the blog is opening the door to the vlog, or video blog. As next-generation broadband increases and as the technologies that make the video blog accessible and easy to produce and manage, the world of vlogs is about to explode. If bloggers have made journalists groan, then the coming of vlogs will make the world of TV news and TV entertainment howl. The ability for the individual to reach out to the world through video is about to become as ordinary as text messaging is today. Video as a primary communications and entertainment tool for the individual is an idea that has yet to arrive but is only around the corner. What is means to the content, communications, technology, and advertising industries is anyone's guess. It may be the next revolution!
