Advantages and Disadvantages of Video Blogging

March 12, 2009

One obstacle I face in using Entrecard toolbar when dropping my cards is there are so many bloggers using video as their blogging tool in grabbing visitors. Actually I surfed the internet using broadband service provider but I always had difficulties in opening ten webpages simultaneously using the Entrecard toolbar, especially when the pages are containing video posts.I do not have any certain ideas whether this obstacles are originating from my computer side or the provider’s side.

As a matter of fact, video blogging has a lot of advantages over text-based blogging, and it is little wonder that this technology is catching on all over the web. Producing and attaching video on a post is effectively grab the attention of web surfers,and people are much more likely to become excited about the dynamic content of a video blog than they are likely to find a written posting very thrilling. The more enthusiastic viewers are about a site, the quicker the word of mouth spreads, and the more traffic the site will get.

On the other hand, there are as well disadvantages to video blogging. Hosting a video blog requires quite a bit of server space, which can make it difficult to get started. It takes more time to process and upload a video file than it does to dash off a quick bit of text, which means that running and updating a video blog can be quite a bit of work. In addition, web surfers sometimes grow frustrated with the slow loading times of the files on many video blogs. Whether you opt for a video blog or not depends on what kind of subject matter you want to cover, and how much time you can devote to video blogging. Before you decide to pursue a video blog, consider if there is an easier way for you to get your message across.
