It seems only natural that social software would see a progression from text (blogs) to audio (podcasting) to video (vlogging) as developers and users all got hip to this many-to-many concept of sharing ideas, self-expressions, experiences, etc., and as the cost of the tools of production continues to fall. It seems that the proliferation of video content is in the midst of an explosion, as videoblogging or vlogging takes hold and gives people a very unique alternative to ye olde broadcast media's highly-produced cable TV offerings. The recent launch of Ourmedia as an entirely free web host repository and community for citizen video (as well as audio), as well as the advent of tools such as the ANT RSS video aggregator (Mac desktop client) and the web-based videoblogger aggregator Mefeedia (which also adds a folksonomy component) seem to herald video's arrival on the social software scene in a big way. How many of you are getting involved in social video, either on the production or consumption end of the spectrum?
