The Youngest Videoblogger in the world

My hats off to Dylan, the youngest videoblogger on the planet earth.
She is the daughter of Michael Verdi, one of the members of our group.
She qualifies with this videoblog.
Welcome Dylan.
Be yourself.
You are awesome.

She very unselfconciously disucsses her braces, her cello, her online groups, her clothes, her love of pop music (even though it's not real rock)...
She gets it.
and it tells me two things.
One: the female species seems to get videoblogging much more intuitvely. (mica. charlene. ryanne.)
Two: Once young people figure this stuff out, videoblogging is going to be the best.
Big up to Dylan's father, Michael, for showing her the way.
Will she post more...and teach her friends to post video?
We are building the second world one person at a time.

Just - what - three days ago? I was so unaware of there even Being something called vlogging - or videoblogging. I found that very Dylan vlog through Metafilter (it was the first time I checked metafilter out in fact - I am doing a big adventure into the world of RSS ++ these days), I saw the Dylan vlog, read some of the comments, surfed from there, read Jay's post about China, commented on it (testing out the TrackBack of my typepad account one more time), he commented my post on his post, gave me the link to me-tv.com and ... wow.

Now to find ways to use/abuse these new technologies in my own daily life, and not just as a fun hobby in christmas.

I guess I will be hearing the "damn, i am soon out of tape" a zillion times in the near future.

Thank you!
