here it is ..
What is it?
A videoblog, or vlog, is a Web log (blog) that uses video rather
than text or audio as its primary media source. Cell phones
equipped with cameras, digital cameras that can record short
video sequences, or inexpensive video cameras equipped with
microphones make it easy to acquire the raw material of a videoblog.
Videoblogs are usually accompanied by text or still
images, and some vlogs include metadata (data that describe
the content of a file, such as keywords) to further annotate the
site. Digital video-editing software allows videobloggers to cut
and paste sequences and integrate audio (background music,
special effects, and so forth). Like a text blog, a videoblog is
updated regularly, typically includes personal reflections, often
contains comments on other sites, and offers a simple mechanism
for subscription and delivery through RSS feeds.
Videoblogging offers a richer Web experience than text blogging
because it combines movies, sound, still images, and text,
increasing the information—and potentially emotions—shared
with users. Rich media allow authors to explore new ways of
communicating—many videobloggers believe that video allows
more natural expression than writing.
Who’s doing it?
Videobloggers have followed in the footsteps of bloggers and
podcasters, extending their posts to include video segments
rather than just text. Because new technologies make images
and video easy to produce, anyone with a digital camera or camera-
equipped cell phone and an Internet service provider (ISP)
can create a videoblog. Videoblogging is attracting people who
want to share commentary, stories, and opinions in video format.
Some videobloggers maintain blogs; others reject blogging
because it limits their expression but are captivated by the richness
and capabilities of vlogging.
Videoblogs represent a new, relatively untested instructional
technology tool. Faculty and students are beginning to include
videoblogs in collaborative class and research activities, and
some academic disciplines see videoblogs as a natural fit for
their needs. For example, anthropologists and ethnographers
are using rich-media blogging to try to capture the essence of
their subjects.

This explains quite a bit to be honest .. vlogging is a new phenom.. interesting?
