The Vlog is Dead

dembot:

We removed /vlog from the url structure of the Rocketboom website. It used to be rocketboom.com/vlog but no more. The word “vlog” is dead for many reasons. It’s a terrible name for one. Too, it’s come to mean “the other” or “the alien” category that people want to avoid because it doesn’t fit into the “entertainment” category or the “comedy” or “news” categories. List your reasons why vlog is dead below. RIP.

This makes me sad. Not that you removed it from the url but that the term is dead or dieing. I think what’s happened is that when online video was first hitting the net it was coined this term and since then online video has become anything and everything including mainstream content. Times have changed. But I think that the personal “talking head” videos can still be classified as vlogs. At least that’s what I still call them.
