Vlogging on the rise

"From unbashful bloggers to proselytizing pastors, people are using inexpensive software and high-speed Internet connections to share video clips of their lives, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports - a little worrying where teen vloggers are concerned. There are doubtless no numbers yet on how many teens do video blogging because the phenomenon is so new, but there have been media reports of teens posting videos to sites that host them, "a recent check of the Yahoo video blogging group showed it had about 1,200 members," and teenagers are the earliest of adopters." With all the suggestive photos and posts about the intimate details of teen lives in regular blogs, seeing those move into vlogging is no great leap.
