RSS feedI smiled to myself when I read this morning’s Sydney Morning Herald, and an article titled Tassie YouTube star calls it quits. Tassie is short for Tasmania, which I guess you could call Australia’s Hawaii, except unlike Hawaii, we successfully killed off all Tasmania’s indigenous people, making us perhaps not so fun loving and fancy free as our tourism advertisements may suggest.
Anyway, in the above SMH article, the term video blog (note the space) is not only used several times, but is used in a way that indicates the author considers it, if not common term, then at least having passed into the standard English lexicon.
More interestingly for me, considering my upcoming War & Peace article on defining videoblogging, is the fact that the term video blog sits so comfortably in an article about a personal video blog, which without preempting my upcoming post too much, is in itself a tautology.
