In Robert Scoble’s post of the Scobleizer blog he pointed to the It’s JerryTime! vlog. This is a wonderful, animated vlog that I subscribed to.
What got me thinking in Scoble’s post, is his statement,
Now, usually I don’t inflict video blogs on you unless they are either mine, heh, or they are good.
To which I replied,
It’s interesting that currentlhy linear video is intrusive in relation to text.
I think that will change when a standard of tagging specific video segments become addressable in text links. Then one can reference video segment examples into text similar to quoting and illustrating with images.
To experiment with this concept, in future posts I’ll put video segments illustrating blog entry descriptions, topics, points, and such.
I look forward to those experiments, Enric.
You are on to something here – why not use video to illustrate points? Earlier, I sometimes wrote a text to for instance give a review about a conference, and then I let certain words be links to .mov files that showed what I was talking about. That gives a very different experience, in my opinion, than if I had just made a video review of the whole conference, or if there was only the text side to it.
Tagging specific video segments is what we need! This is very exciting stuff
