Vlogosphäre

Where bloggers have a blogosphere, vloggers have a vlogosphere. This is an artificial word made up of the terms video and blogosphere: a video-web world with video diaries on Web 2.0.

The vlogosphere is the visualized web world. Vodcasts, which can be accessed in the vlogosphere concern private and personal matters, current affairs and strategic information, social affairs and disasters, that is, anything that people think about. Much vlogging contributes to online-video journalism by covering topics that TV channels do not cover for political, legal or geographical reasons. The sheer numbers of vloggers and their web entries are decisive communicative and strategic aspects of the publishing power that vodcasts have. This applies equally to activities for or against enterprises, political opinion building, influencing of election results, and critical journalism. Current events, disasters and war crimes are quickly covered on by vloggers who add other information or their opinions. Thanks to networking this information propagates very quickly world wide over RSS Feeds and Atom Feeds.

The enormous options and functionality of vide technology, world wide networking, and fast propagation via RSS Feeds are the building blocks of the vlogosphere.
