The Benefits of Video Blogs

People may wonder what the benefit of a video blog may be as opposed to a written blog.  If you think about it, ever since caveman time, people have read each other by watching their faces and expressions.  It was only relatively recently in the history of mankind have we started to read each other’s words and interpreted one another from his/her writing. As such, a video blog allows for those expressions to be noted so that your points can be made clearer, with the particular tone you cannot achieve in writing. In addition, your personality can shine through on video in a way it can’t shine through in writing.  As such, your audience will come to know a writer better -- becoming more familiar with him/her -- leading an audience to feel closer to a writer than by simply reading his/her written words. Also, certain individuals are more comfortable recording a video than they are in writing a post.  For those folks, the option to post a video blog is much more appealing. With Ziggeo’s API and its Wordpress Plug In for Video Blogs, Ziggeo has also made it extremely simple to record and submit videos.  It only takes a simple click of the “record video” button and when satisfied, a click to submit the video right to a blog.  Since no uploading or downloading is necessary, recording a video blog post can be as easy -- or even easier for some-- than writing a written blog post.  And with Ziggeo, there is no need to choose between the two options: some days a video blog post can be recorded and on other days, a written comment.  You can read more about Ziggeo’s API here and its Wordpress Plug in for Video Blogs here.
