Blogging vs Vlogging

--Originally published at 8326's blog

Blogging or vlogging? What do you guys think about these? Do you think that one is better than the other one?

In my opinion (and more than in my opinion, in my life), vlogging has a greater impact in society than blogs; I believe this is because:

  1. The newer generations are either too lazy to read, or they’ve only watched videos during their short lives, so they’re used to that.
  2. Vlogging is more entertaining than blogging. This is because you can have music, images, videos, just whatever people enjoy a lot, and that makes it way more fun than just reading and reading.

On the other hand, I believe there are some advantages on blogging that you cannot show in a videoblog. For example, just as it happens between books and movies, reading gets your imagination going, you experience emotions on your own and interpret ideas differently than a video, which doesn’t let you imagine anything, but it shows you all the author wants you to see.

 

In the end, it’s not aBOUT (Canadian accent) which one is better than the other one, but which one works better for you, either as an author or as a reader/viewer. Here is an article I found about this topic which I found very interesting.
