Vlogging
With the invent of Google Video and YouTube, and with ever increasing bandwidth capabilities both at home and on major websites, Vlogging is quickly becoming the world's choice method of expressing itself. Vlogging is effectively the same as Blogging, in as much as there are many different ways of using the tool from general rants to full artistic creations, except that it uses the medium of video (usually with audio) instead of written word and still images.
As a regular blogger I feel it's time I recognise the potential of video-blogging and perhaps incorporate it in some way to my website. One such use could be to add extra value to my resources page by including music lessons with video and audio examples : a first attempt at recording myself playing a simple classical guitar piece can be viewed below. Admittedly, the sound level needs to come up and I could have done with increasing the picture quality but I still think that it goes some way to demonstrating the potential of this medium.
