Teen vlogs?!

Well, our teenagers are blogging. Pretty soon they'll be vlogging - some undoubtedly already are. Vlogs are video blogs, sort of the ultimate reality TV, only more amateur and, in some cases, a lot more yuck, since there's almost nothing vloggers aren't recording. I didn't even want to pass along to you all the examples the New York Times provides in its article on this today, but here are some: "Village Girl has posted a video of her 2-year-old dancing with a friend. Josh Leo taped himself browsing through his old baby pictures and art projects. (The first book he wrote as a child, 'No,' is excellent.) Fat Girl From Ohio is a man blogging largely about his wife's pregnancy." Most are adults, but the Times mentions one dad of two little girls, both of whom have vlogs ("Dylan plays with Neopets.com and talks about a boy who can't get her name right"). "At this point the video blogging world is still small enough that all vloggers appear to know one another and show up in one another's work." So we don't yet really have to worry about our teenagers' party vlogs, but - when you start wondering - talk to yours and for goodness sake make sure s/he's sure no last names are associated with the footage in those vlogs!
