Why Video Blogs Will Suck

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday December 28, 2005 @04:43AM from the you-mean-besides-the-obvious dept.

Ohreally_factor writes "Web Usability Guru Jakob Nielson has recently written a piece for his Alertbox Blog that does not bode well for video bloggers: Static, talking heads are even more boring on the internet than they are on TV. Nielson backs up his ideas with data from a study done on eyetracking while watching web video. One of Nielson's caveats: 'keep distracting elements out of the frame of your shots. If there's a road sign in the video, for example, users will try to read it and will thus miss some of the main content.'"

Your understanding of VIDEO is interesting, to say the least.

And your grasp of the english language amuses me, to say the least.

Blogs are just authoritative statements from non-authorities who want their narcisistic rush.

They share much in common with this comment of yours, then.
