Video blogging making an impression

The next wave of blogging development may be here in the shape of videoblog newscasts, according to a report in the Houston Chronicle which profiles up and coming videoblog Rocketboom.

For a commercial perspective though what differentiates Rocketboom from many other video blogging experiments is that Rocketboom includes paid staff in what I presume is a similar model to WeblogsInc., and does advertising at the end of each vlogcast. The show, which is produced in New York gets about 25,000 downloads a day and has recently hired correspondents in Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Boston.
