Genuine Rich Media Blogging
Thu, 30/08/2007 - 15:35 — AdrianMiles, Adrian. "A Vision for Genuine Rich Media Blogging." Uses of Blogs. Eds. Axel Bruns and Joanne Jacobs. New York: Peter Lang, 2006. 213-22.
I identify which material affordances of networked writing blogs exploit, and then use this as the basis for a critique of video blogging. From this I argue for a different video blog practice where video is more 'blog like' and network aware and porous.
Blogs are a rich, diverse and quintessentially disparate medium expressing the internet as a network of noise, connection, communication and difference.

Essay where the term softvideo is introduced. This explores the possibilities and affordances of video when the computer and network is treated as the form of consumption and not only distribution.
Interactive video has much that it could learn from hypertext.

The notes haven't been included with the slides, as the slides will form the basis of a much more extensive essay.
