Video blog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Video blog is a blog that includes video.[1] Regular entries are typically presented in reverse chronological order and often combine embedded video or a video link with supporting text, images, and other metadata.
Vlogs often take advantage of web syndication to allow for the distribution of video over the Internet using either the RSS or Atom syndication formats, for automatic aggregation and playback on mobile devices and personal computers. See video podcast.
Though many vlogs are collaborative efforts, the majority of vlogs and vlog entries are authored by individuals.
[edit] History
Vlogging saw a strong increase in popularity beginning in the year 2005. The Yahoo! Videoblogging Group saw its membership increase dramatically in that same year.
