The contest
Click Consultants and The University Kid are giving away a Creative Vado video camera, perfect for video blogging! What I love about this camera is that it has a rechargeable battery, which is also removable so you can swap it for a fully charged one when it runs out. This is exactly what I was looking for after my disastrous experience with my old HP photo camera that would switch off after 10 seconds on fresh AA batteries. Seriously, it was that bad! :mad:
Why videos?
Personally I prefer reading written posts because of the terrible internet connection we have in our area, and since I read quite fast it's usually quicker for me to read a post than to wait for a video to load. On the other hand, the majority of internet users have a fast connection and so this is not a problem for them - viewing videos is much quicker and more entertaining than reading plain boring old text. Also, have you ever written about something you saw or experienced and found that words just cannot describe it adequately? Using videos solves this problem - your audience sees exactly what you see. Another advantage is that it's much quicker to record a video than to type your whole post out, especially if you're like me and still haven't learnt to type properly! Right now I'm typing with four fingers plus my thumbs for the spacebar :blush:
