The Right streams ahead with vidcasting
Yet again the Right Wing have grabbed hold of the future with both hands, leaving everyone else bewildered and lying in the dust. The Right seem to dominate when it comes to blogging - they were first with ConservativeHome (and then everyone else followed) and many of the top blogs are Right Wing. Now they’re set to dominate the new(ish) medium of vidcasting and internet TV.
This week has seen the launch of WebCameron and Recess Monkey reported that Guido* was going to start doing it too. We already know that Iain Dale et al are doing 18 Doughty Street. But where are the lefty vid bloggers?? Will they be playing catchup?
We over at Vox Polis are divided over the impact of video on line Jonny thinks that no one will want to watch it on the move like they listen to podcasts, and if they do then they’ll fall over/walk into lamp posts/crash their cars whilst watching. He’s also not too convinced that politics will work well in this format. I think it has potential. Apple certainly think it’s the future. The Right think it’ll catch on. Will Jonny eat his TV remote if he’s wrong?
* I know Guido is strictly in the non-aligned section, but he seems pretty Right Wing to me.
