CBS) For those striving to stay on the cutting edge, blogging is so "last year." Now, it's all about "vlogging."
CBS News Correspondant Jim Axelrod reports video blogging is the latest trend in Internet posting.
I've actually thought this would be good fun, along with an excellent way to present independent news. There are issues, though. Bandwidth costs and dial up viewers for example. I believe it is definately trend to watch for the future.
Unlike Merck stock, I'm afraid. $18 Billion in potential liability ... going to be hard to find relief from that pain.
I've always wanted to try something like this via bittorrent or some other distributed method of downloading. Would be ideal for something like this. As long as you could setup a seed on the www server just incase everyone else stops uploading, the www server will still be able to upload it.
That could get costly though too depending on how many people continue seeding(uploading). I don't think I could get the content or the wide viewership to really test this out though.
I'd be willing to participate if you wanted to try something like this Dan.

Dan, That American Daughter link I asked you to blogroll is called a media center and think has that feature. Can show vids and I think live cameras both?

How would this work?

I'm no great fan of the big drug companies but awards like this only serve to make health care more expensive for everyone. I think large litigation awards like this, in any industry, make no sense. Sending a message? Is there a smoking gun memo or some such proving deceit? Was there criminal intent? Merck pulled Vioxx soon as they suspected trouble with it; and that stuff helped me through some trying times.
This is no Enron, or Calif. energy scheme (what happened to those thieves?). Awards like this only serve to increase insurance costs and make lawyers wealthy. How is society improved by Litigation Lotteries like this?
I'd be interested in an opposing viewpoint.
