Is you tube the next blogging platform?

Is you tube taking over as a blogging space?
I wonder this, because in past few months I am really enjoying a lot of time on you tube.

And I found that, a lot of experiences that you could write here, or rant about stuff here on our blogs, you can do it on you tube, with more fun and more spice.

People are using their handy cam and video cam and web cams to record while they rant off stuff. Also, at many a times the personal moments, that you could later blog about, can now be video graphed and immediately pulled up on you tube.

So actually, the same thing we do on blogging, we can do now on you tube and more. For, while you are speaking or narrating, you can add up a lot more than you are writing.

But their is a lot of featured or dramatized ranting and story telling too. Balaji telefilms recently launched bol niti bol, a series of videos where a young girl talks about her life.
There are too many English versions of such concepts too. Like lonely girl 15.
One that I really like is the great actor, Shammi Kapoor's channel. Here, in a web series termed Shammi Kapoor Unplugged, the veteran actor, talks about his experiences in a story telling narration. Something akin to may be what we would write on our blogs.

So is you tube all set to change, we the bloggers' lives? I think it shall take some more time, but it will happen one day soon.
Not all of us, are still very comfortable speaking and recording over our webcams. But the coming generation of bloggers shall definitely follow that. That is my view.
What do you think about it? Do pen down your thoughts in the comments section.
Thank you :)

I definitely think Vlogs (VideoLogs) are here to stay. Gary V in his book Crush It rose to acclaim via his Vlog. It's very similar to our sense of feeling like we know t.v. & movie personalities because we see them. We gauge their demeanor, inflections, facial expressions,etc. I have several you tube channels. You can check me out at http://www.youtube.com/coachjacquidobens.com where I have several motivational movies. I definitely think that the more mediums we communicate in the better. Type, audio (podcast) & Vlog. It reaches various preferred communication styles. I never thought of it this clearly before it actually motivates me to do all three more. Thank you for that!

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Trail of Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab – A joke!

Who do you trial? Who does this? What is this all about? Is this playing with justice or is it just a mockery of the whole thing? Well, there are lots of questions and I find very less of answers to all these. Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab is the only survivor from the pack of Pakistani terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26, 2008 (better known as 26/11). He was captured while he was on a rampage killing scores of people and injuring hundreds, on that dreadful night in Mumbai. There was a lot of fuss in the last few months about him being a Pakistani or his age to be prosecuted in an adult court or with his captivity. Recently, the long awaited trial started and everyone is waiting to see what the court will decide on his fate. Ridiculous! What is there to decide? Hang him!! Simple… Well, I do not want to hang him without getting all the information from him and only after proving that the attackers were all from Pakistan and the whole incident was built up by the Pakistani Army, Go...

Dumb Indians?

Some more thought on EDUCATION. This was originally written by me on my personal blog... but i think this will go very well in this arena too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The fundamental issue that India has and not easily solvable is average IQ being low. India's average IQ is 81, while that of most progressed countries is above 97. China surprisingly has an average IQ of 100. India being a truely democratic country, the government is represented by majority, and majority has an IQ below 70 (IQ distribution is vast in India). Hence you get a government elected by morons, representing morons, and full of morons. And since these morons govern justice system, education system, healthcare, you name it, a person with an engineering degree, or a doctor, or a lawyer from India on average has an IQ of 81 as well. While the requirements of bec...
