Not A Videoblog, Just A Blog

Chris Gilbey over at Perceptric Forum wrote last week:

Have you noticed recently how media - and by that I mean movies - is invading the blogoshpere?

Whereever I go on the web there is a new proliferation of embedded movies. Go to the Fred Wilson blog and movies are everywhere - underpinning an argument, sharing some humour....

Here too.

The ability for people to share media is changing again the way the web works, and the way that people respond.

It is very early days in this quiet revolution of ideas at the moment. But there is a wave front building that is going to be enormous. Communication via images rather than via text is coming down the road like a Mac truck.

And this will be the thing that is the great change maker.

Chris is right. I have no intention of turning this blog into a video blog, but photos and videos help tell the story, whatever story it is that I am telling.

So you are going to see more video, not less, on this blog going forward.

It is too bad that the new IE7 reader won't directly show the videos, To my knowledge blogines supports flash and inclue! supports Flash, quicktime and WMV.

Some of the major video sites saw a blip or decline in clips viewed per user/month in august.
