In search of an audience...

I can not say I write only for the love of the written word.  I desire feedback, interaction, readers, viewers, etc.  I have recently been considering transitioning to a video blog for precisely this purpose.  Blogs seem to be a disappearing medium.  Audio and video have replaced the written word several times, and so this is not surprising.

After all, we humans developed the written word relatively recently.  All communication was interpersonal at one point and a great deal of our communication still is.  The written word is also not ideal for the conveying of emotion.  It invokes emotion, but conveying it is difficult when the inflection of a voice is taken out of the equation.  There have been some recent attempts to compensate for this, but they fall short.

I can not say whether I will end up doing this.  I'm not particularly photogenic, nor am I great public speaker.  My voice will probably be lost in the sea of content just as my words are here.
