Video Killed The Blogging Star. Really.
Scoble leaves Microsoft to videoblog.
I think that tells you where all this is going.
If you are not thinking about video-networks and authenticity and you claim to be serious about this blogging stuff then you are in trouble. Really.
This doesn't mean Scoble will be successful.
What it means is that some folks are going to be very successful and get very rich. Even Microsoft folks see that.
But I'm sure all the readers here already have their cameras and have been working on their stuff for months, right? We were talking about this stuff 6 months ago.
It's old hat.
We realize that these videoblogs are just the first step.
Once people get over the excitement of watching video in their web browser they are going to want expect…

I’m excited Robert is leaving Microsoft to venture into this new territory. There is huge potential emerging online everyday. The thing is, if content rules, then good (great? original?) new content has to be created everyday, or at least several times a week. Breaking a hot story first means you get eyeballs for that story. Then you need the next story and the next. This will be quite a journey to witness, much less particiapte in… The cream will continue to rise.

Video and audio blogging are fraught with many problems, but Scoble can probably help solve them all.
The Content Anarchy Utopia revolution is already here. Any Content, Any Amount, Any Time, Any Format, Any Place.
Robert Scoble and Shel Israel, in their book and blog, Naked Conversations (nee The Red Couch) have issued the prophetic summons.
And it’s not corporations, but entrepreneurs who are leading the charge.
