Vlog (video blog)
The term vlog is combination of the words "video" and "blog" (a.k.a. "weblog"). A vlog is usually a short video, usually 3-5 minutes in length, which uses a blogging system (e.g., WordPress, MovableType) as its method of distribution. In most cases, regular entries are made and presented in reverse chronological order. A typical vlog entry combines an embedded video or video link, along with supporting text and images. Vlogs often utilize techologies such as RSS to take advantage of web syndication, allowing the widespread distribution of the video throughout the internet. Vlogs are usually self-produced by individuals known as "vloggers," as opposed to being created by traditional media companies. They are typically viewed on a personal computer or mobile video device (e.g., iPod).
