Matt Ygelsias, one of the early and influential US political bloggers, introduces his brother Nick, and generously gets upstaged as said brother takes down video-blogging. Essentially watching vlogging is too slow, and too annoying. Nick is right, but then again not everyone is as smart as the Yglesias family, and you have to wonder how many people would prefer to watch rather than read…
Actually you don’t have to wonder – just consider newspaper and TV media consumption. Which begs the question – will the internet make society smarter on average? or are blogs and vlogs the domain of the (former) newspaper readers only?
