Blogs are the hottest form of communication these days. A number of open sources offer a platform for the people to set up their blogs. Some of the most popular blogging sites are – Blogger, WordPress, and LiveJournal. However, there are plenty of other sites too where anyone can set up a blog, like: Blogabond, BusyThumbs, ShoutPost, etc. There are also a number of sites that allow users to set up their video blogs.
Blogging is no more confined to texts. Blogs give the users the freedom of expressing themselves in any way they want. Blogs need not necessarily have words. Users can have graphic charts, a picture or even a video clip as their blog post. Video blogs are the ‘in-thing’ now.
Not everyone is a wizard of words. That, however, does not prevent anyone from expressing themselves. If a video clip can aptly justify a user’s feelings, so should be it. Blogging is about letting the world know how you feel about any subject under the sun. Video blogs are thus, getting popular with each passing day. No matter how good a person is with words, a visual clip certainly would convey more than just the texts. Also a video blog is much more personal than a written one as the viewer can not only see the blogger but also gauge his or her expressions. A viewer can also understand the passion with which one expresses his or her thoughts on a blog.
Personal usage of video blogs:
Across the world, people of all age are setting up blogs. Records say that as of February, 2011, there were 156 million public blogs registered on different sites on the internet. With about 96000 of blog registration every day, people are just following the trend of sharing their opinion with people – far and near, through videos.
Video blog is an effervescent way to share a moment or a visual clip that might speak for your opinion. Often they are found to be more interactive than blogs with mere text in it. Of course, you can also add texts and re-emphasise the point of your highlight.
Informative video blogs:
There are a lot of bloggers, who set up blogs just to put forward certain information for the public. The information can range from share market to technology. Informative sites gain a huge readership than many others. People search on the internet for various kinds of information. This is when informative blogs come into practice. Visual clips can be appealing when it comes to an informative video blog.
Tutorial blog sites use video blogs:
For instance, a lot of people set up blogs as a tutorial for some particular software. Photo editing software tops the chart here, besides many others. Such blog sites are more than often preferred as video clips than mere texts. In fact, such sites are often more popular when they are in the form of video blogs.
Video blogs as business booster:
Blogs have been proved to shoot up the revenue of one’s business drastically. Once again, when a business has a blog with visual clips that demonstrate the product or explain the services, people connect with them better and want to try out your product or services.
