Podcasting and Video Blogging - What's It All About?Continued from Podcasting and Video Blogging - What's It All About? (part 2).. The only downside to video blogging is that it is 'computer and Internet dependant,' meaning that in order for a person to view your video, they must have a computer, an Internet connection, and a web browser, and they must have these long enough to watch your video, unless they can download it (most video blog videos are not available for download), and even then, they must have a computer to view the video. Podcasting is different. It is portable, but users must still have a computer, Internet connection, and browser to download the podcast. It may be downloaded to the computer, or it may be downloaded to the users' MP3 player. An MP3 player is basically a portable listening device, similar to a portable CD player - but instead of listening to CD's, the user listens to MP3's of whatever they have downloaded. An ipod is an example of an MP3 player. MP3 players are virtually replacing radio, because users are able to select what they want to listen to. They aren't limited to just a certain style of music or talk shows, they can literally pick and choose their programming, choosing particular talk show style podcasts, certain music titles, and video games, if their MP3 player is equipped for games. You may think that you want to skip over the video blogging and go straight for the podcasting, since it is such a valuable media. But you would actually do better to participate in both, since they do reach different audiences, in different ways.
