Do You Have a Vlog? A Look at the Vlogosphere...

Filed in archive Blogs on January 12, 2010

For many geeks, the logical extension of blogging is vlogging - video weblogging. Personally, I don't agree. But then, I'm more of a word smith than a techno geek. And I'm not saying there's something wrong with having a vlog. I'm just not that in to videos.

MeFeedia recently published a report on the state of the Vlogosphere, according to TechCrunch - it's first such report since 2007.

The main take-away: video blogs have exploded since the last update, but most vloggers stick to the best known video hosting sites for distribution and promotion purposes.

No surprises there, but since MeFeedia's video search engine self-reportedly tracks over 30,000 video sources across the Web, the company slapped some interesting numbers on the most apparent trends.

The Vlogosphere has grown more than 500% since 2007 - from about 20,000 vlogs to 110,000 vlogs. And Spanish language vlogs are growing faster than English language vlogs.
