P.s. Max is tha lazy guy who feeds the Reblog section of NearNear Future to make a Cut & Paste of the news I should read, digest and rewrite on the blog. Mind you, I might be lazy too, I read them and make a mental note to digest and rewrite them... which I almost never do!

To be a vlogger or video bloggers, you have to link a digital video camera to a laptop and uploads short video clips.

With cheap digital cameras and video-enabled phones and a bit of training you can mount original programming, bypassing the usual broadcast networks and cable outlets.
