Initially I, wrongly, thought that podcasts were essentially audio blogs and could never see what all the fuss was about - I couldn't visually scan a podcast, couldn't search its contents and it took me longer to 'digest'. Then I started to view podcasts not as audio blogs but more as radio-type clips. What brought about this change in perception was a change in how I listened to podcasts - not using the same pc in my office that I use to read blogs but instead using my N95 to play the podcast in the car while I drove. The N95 also made it very easy to download the podcast via my wireless lan at home. My point is that maybe if you start considering video blogs as online video content and create an environment suitable for digesting such content (maybe a Wii connected to broadband, wired to your 42inch plasma, with a wireless keyboard, you on your couch with a glass of wine) you may value it differently. I haven't tried this myself as I am still building my 'environment' but I am so shocked and amazed at how easily podcasts displaced my radio and music listening in my car (and lately at home) that I can't wait for 'video blogs' to displace Pat Kenny, Your a start and all that other shite I watch but don't enjoy. I'm looking forward to kicking back and watching twitlive.tv with a bottle of beer, unwinding. Your post reminds me of my experience with podcasts.

Besides Joe, you have a face for TV! You might be right, but it reminds me of great discussions about the number of people who would never need telephones, or mobiles, or PCs :-)
