A video of some guy's Mom is genius

Ryan wrote today in our videoblog discussion group:
"Do any of you know of people doing revogging, i.e. creating videoblogs that are re-edits or remixes or even just clips + commentary of existing web content? I'm aware of Kenyatta's browseTV, Rich Persaud and Jon Udell's experiments with stream linking, and WebJay video playlists, but in general it seems that this genre of videoblog is underrepresented...
Do you think this is this because of technical difficulties or a lack of
interest in this approach?"

Me:
screw copyrights.
i dont think there's enough video to revog.
I can count the number of video blogs and many of them do not post regularly.

this is why a simple production tool is so badly needed.
we need to help people MAKE videoblogs.
seems many people are working on the viewer side(a video aggregator that sends collected video to your TV), which is cool and important, but what video will we see?
the point of all this in my mind is to get the PEOPLE to make the video, not the same existing media companies.

check out what this new guy Shannon did today:
Shannon's Mom
it's so weird and simple, but i love it.
his mom in a Moment, unmediated.
it doesnt mean anything, but its so cool.
And Steve Garfield is of course laying down the groundwork for Citizen Journalism.
We need so many more examples.
so the question is:
what's the next step? where are we heading?
what are we waiting for?
