Return to Argent009's blog

Oh look, it's a BLOG! How, uh, quaint.

(I'm feeling indescribable)

Blogs.... On a Vlogging site, did you ever stop to think about that?

It's sort of like putting a typewriter next to a supercomputer, ya know, just in case you decide you want to slum it, isn't it?

My point being, do we really need blogs on a vlogging site? Aren't they just a bit of extranious content that almost nobody is going to look at? I imagine that there will be some (usually new users) who will use them, though if they do they're really missing the point. There are dozens, nay, hundreds, nay, probably thousands of blogging sites out there which can and do do a better job of it than LiveVideo can do. It's sort of a matter of trying to be a swiss army knife rather than a fine piece of German cutlery. Why do you need a 1" long pair of pliers that can't even be used to twist off a bottle cap? And what the hell is that little pointy stick? Oh I'll tell you what it is, it's a freaking toothpick, a throw-back to the days of old when people actually used METAL TOOTHPICKS and sometimes they were made of materials that were poisionous, you know, before someone discovered wood.

Seems to me that if you can press a button and record your thoughts right into a camera, the idea of a text blog is sort of extranious, a bit redundant, like doing things over and over again for no good reason, like repeating yourself, like rattling on and on for no good reason about a subject that doesn't matter, you know, like, uh, a video about nothing. (snicker snicker). Point made?

Now, audio comments would have been very cool. Imagine how much cooler it'd be to record a little voice comment than to type a text one? Wouldn't you use that? I know I sure as heck would. It'd be innovative, interesting, interactive and certainly more in line with Web 2.0 technology. So I say, can the blog, give us voice commenting, that'd rock!

Actually Mike, blogging isnt a horrendous thing for a vlogging site, because in such I am too cheap to buy a camera to make vlogs. Some people (like me) feel way more at ease writting blogs than to put their face in front of a camera. It has nothing to do with being camera shy, but for faulty copyright infringement clauses.

And of course vlogging isn't that all entertaining to watch. The most of the people that make vlogs have nothing remotely interesting to say. They try to be funny but they fail miserably.
