YouTube awards are Insular, and why the Vloggies is better for the Online Video Industry
Categories: PodtechPosted on March 19th, 2007We at PodTech held the first Vloggies award ceremony last year in Nov in SF. Apparently, YouTube also thinks this was a good idea and is holding their own says Mashable.
If you’ve not seen the Vloggies Site, there are interviews up with the top vloggers, being interviewed at SXSW, you can subscribe via RSS of course. If you weren’t able to attend the 2006 Vloggies, this video summarizes it pretty well.
Which is better? Well, in addition to being the first, PodTech’s vloggies is platform agnostic, we honor and award to vloggers even if they don’t use YouTube, like Blip, Revver, and a bunch others.
[We should recognize the best video bloggers regardless of the tools they use]
Imagine if the Academy Awards only gave Oscars to films that came from one movie studio… it’s kinda like that.
