Rocketboom's Powerful Lift-Off
These are the early days of video blogging. Most of the postings on
the Web are rough and tedious -- little more than home movies. But
the success of Rocketboom and a few sites like it underscore the
potential of video blogs. Cheaper video recorders mean just about
anyone can make videos, while the spread of speedy Net service means
almost anybody can watch clips posted online. The result? The
Internet is coming alive with a mix of video, from the polished
parody of Rocketboom to the raw interviews of reporters. As these
videos flow into the living room, they will reshape what we think of
as television. "TV will be transformed," says Mitchell Kapor, the
founder of Lotus Development Corp. and now an investor in
Participatory Culture, an online video startup. "People will look at
it as historically quaint that you had to watch something that others
chose for you."
