The Evolution of blogs: From Text to Audio-Video

This part is taken from soem research thesis

In or around 1997, blogging became a quickly spreading passion among Internet literates. A weblog, or blog is a “frequently updated Web page with dated entries in reverse chronological order, usually containing links with commentary” [Blood 2002]. The term originated from “WeB log,” and was promoted further by www.blogger.com as a blog. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. The act itself is often referred to as blogging. According to Gill [2004], several primary characteristics of a blog include regular chronological entries; links to related news articles, documents, or blogs (referred to as blogrolling); archived entries such that old content remains accessible via static links.

Current Vlogging:

Tools Nowadays, most vlogs are powered by vlogging hosting services or stand-alone tools. These systems make it easier to edit a self-made video, to set up a vlog, to update, distribute, and archive its content, and to search vlogs and videos from widely distributed sites. Some systems are free and open sources, others are commercial products. In this installment, current vlogging tools and services are surveyed from several different, while related, perspectives. Video editing is the process of rearranging or modifying segments of video to form another piece of video. The goals of video editing are the same as for film editing—the removal of unwanted footage, the isolation of desired footage, and the arrangement of footage in time to synthesize a new piece of footage [Wikipedia 2008]. With video editing softwares, vloggers are able to cut and paste video sequences and integrate audio (background music, special effects, and so forth) so as to create more attractive vlogs. In the home video domain, there are a number of inexpensive yet powerful video editing tools such as iMovie, Abode Premiere. Ordinary users often want to create more professional videos using a set of videos that they captured. Towards this end, there are many recent studies that aim to automate home-video editing, ensuring that the edited video is of satisfactory quality. For example, Hua et al. [2004] proposed an optimization-based automated home-video editing system that could automatically select suitable or desirable highlight segments from a set of raw home videos and thenalign them with a given piece of incidental music, to create an edited video segment of the desired length. Similar MTV-style video generation system can also been found in Lee et al. [2005]. The increased popularity of vlogging has resulted in a large increase in online video editing activity. Currently, the Web is populated by tools and sites that allow users to edit videos online within their browsers, without the need to install a specific software on their local computers. These video editing tools and sites, such as International Remix, Jumpcut, Videoegg, Eyespot, Motionbox, Photobucket, or One True Media, and so on [Bordwell and Thompson 2006], are generally characterized by their great ease of use, which makes it a breeze to do both basic and advanced editing even for nonexperts. Collaboratively developed by Yahoo! Research Berkeley and the San Francisco Film Society, Remix is a platform for Web-based video editing that provides a simple video authoring experience for novice users [Schmitz et al. 2006]. This system was featured at the 2006 San Francisco International Film Festival Web site for one month. Another well-known online video editing tool is the Jumpcut, a 2007 Webby Award nominee and Yahoo acquisition. Jumpcut offers very strong editing and enhancment tools, with a clean, clear interface and community features.
