My First Personal Vlog
I had been thinking about starting my own personal vlog for a while… but Vloggercon really inspired me to get on it. So here is a little video of me and my cat. This video is a response to Jay’s one from however long ago that was. The fact is I LOVE cats and think that videos of girls and their cats are totally awesome additions to the vlogging community. That kind of content is just not very rocketboom-esque, I guess, was the point of my comment on that particular episode of the Boom.
No promises with this…. but, it is truly “me”…. Or, I don’t know, I feel weird saying that. My cat, however, acknowledges that the below video is not really him, but instead a polished version of himself.

Cute! I like the scene where your chasing after Mattie in the dark hall and talking to the camera. Only critique is it could be a bit shorter.

Why do videoblogging and cats seem to go together like milk and cookies?
Amanda, this only makes you more of an internet celebrity :-)
I'm glad vloggercon is inspiring people to start videoblogging.
Next steps...
- Check out FeedBurner which helps people subscribe to your videoblog using RSS aggregators like ANT (http://AntNotTv.org).
- Shorter videos tend to work better in this medium.
- Check out 3ivx for video compression.

Finally!!! This is just SO GREAT! It's too short though. Heh, just kidding, I think it's cool exactly the way it is. It's awesome to see you finally make this particular leap. You are inspiring me - I mean, you are forcing me! to consider my own desire to share my love for pets online.

Hey Amanda:
What a cute cat. Mattie has great markings. Also, add RSS so we can subscribe.

Great first post.

Howdy -- how about some original cat poetry from time to time. Also, here is a link that might be of benefit to cat-a-philes everywhere:http://www.catsoftherevolution.com/
