Vlogger Number One Billion

Filed Under General

Reading this article by Amit Khannaabout how changes in technology are affecting the media and India, I was reminded again how we are really at the very beginning of vlogs and vlogging. Khanna talks about how we are really just at the beginning of blogging (especially in India), and then very quicky jumps to vlogging:

Nothing has changed journalism more than the advent of the blog (weblog) and what we are seeing are just the beginnings of blogging.

Already it is becoming a favoured form of disseminating news and information. Soon there will be a proliferation of the video blog. A version of peer-to-peer TV streaming is already on the internet.

In places like India and China internet usage is growing like kudzu, of course. The emerging technology that makes video and vlogs a common form of web communication will soon be a natural everyday habit of perhaps billions. All right, we might not reach a billion vlogs anytime soon, but with places like India and China gearing up, it’s not hard to imagine millions upon millions of vlogs very soon. “Peer-to-peer TV” as he says. Millions upon millions. Millions to the billions. Who will be “Vlogger Number One Billion,” I wonder. How long before that happens?
