Video is worth 1,000 pictures


Video bloggers claim spotlight / Online diaries looking a lot like television:
"Jay Dedman's life plays out in snippets of video, captured on a handheld video camera and posted on his online diary, Momentshowing."
This is an excellent article about videoblogging. Ellen Lee, of the San Francisco Chronicle, presents an accruate view of how some videobloggers use vlogging to capture fleeting moments of life.

It's unfortunate that the headline writer totally missed the point of the article by writing, "Online diaries looking a lot like television."

The whole point of the article is that most of the video blogs highlighted in the story are not like televison at all.
