Toward a definition of videoblogging

Today during class, we did some brainstorming to get closer to a definition of videoblogging as we've experienced it. Some of our tentative conclusions included:

• Videoblogging is a practice.
  
• It's a means of creative expression through video that gets internalized into your everyday life, and can even be defined as a way of life.
  
• It's necessarily personal, even when it's fictional or poetic.
  
• It's about process and intent, not product.
  
• It stands in contrast to the conventions of mainstream media--it's about conversation, expression, and personal intent, not about revenue, ratings, or viral video.

Here's the board after our brainstorming session:


And, like good vloggers, we had to document our work using the handheld devices we keep available at all times:
