I've been watching this almost every day, I think that video blogging could catch on.

God no - I couldn't do that! I'd have to make sure I was wearing the right clothes, make sure my hair and make-up were ok, check the backdrop (here at home it's anyone's guess what you'd see in the background

) Think I'll stick to the traditional way, thanks!

Absolutely!

But at the moment I can slop around in my dressing gown (and very little else at times!) and type away to my heart's content - I wouldn't be able to do that if I was on camera, now would I?

we have our 'local channel' which amounts to a video blog, sometimes the programs are realy good, but they are prone to leaving a pc running looped programs over the weekend - many a BSOD instead of 'normal service'

I can't see video blogs taking off over here while upload speeds are relatively low. Getting standards sorted could be a pain too - that one used quicktime, which some people don't like - although I personally prefer anything to RealPlayer.

Also I wonder what the legal situation is - I'm assuming you would have to have anyone else you filmed give permission for it to be published.??

Yeah. That wide-eyed, crazed look on her face really made me want to watch. NOT.

It doesn't have the spontaneity of a regular blog. It's more like a down-market, down-your-street version of CNN.
