Rocketboom Vlog Sells Ads for $40K

RocketboomRocketboom's ad auction on eBay has ended with a winning bid of $40,000. Rocketboom auctioned off 5 original video ads that they would create themselves. Rocketboom is a daily video news blog (or vlog) starring Amanda Congdon.
For the highest bidder, we will create five original, fifteen second (minimum) - one minute (maximum) post-roll commercials that will span five days of programming, Monday-Friday, March 6 through March 10, 2006. Each day that week a different commercial that we create for your company will be played at the conclusion of the Rocketboom episode.

Rocketboom reaches a minimum of 130,000 people per day and each day's video, over the course of several days, receives over 200,000 complete views. Thus, the advertisement reach for this auction is currently a minimum of one million views.
Rocketboom retained complete control over the creation and design of the ads so it will be interesting to see what they come up with. The winning bidder has the eBay member profile of starfinder5. Daily Vodcasts says Rocketboom was expecting a bid of $50,000 or higher. Andy Carvin also has a post on the Rocketboom ad sale.

Will Every Website Become a TV Station?

Video blogs are just starting to become popular. Will video someday reach the point where it is seen on every webpage? Brad Inman, the founder and publisher of Inman News, thinks so and recently said so at a Real Estate Connect conference according to E-Media Tidbits.
"Let me just explain it this way: Every webpage will become a television station," he said. "Think of the webpage as a video magazine. ... In a few years, if people open the page and see words and data, they might change the channel on you."
Inman's company has also created InmanStories.com, which creates videos that could be used in real estate to sell luxury homes. Inman also has a blog here.

While it seems highly likely that the Internet will be full of more and more video as time passes it also seems highly unlikely that text and data will vanish. Newspapers were still read after television was commonplace. And in many cases information can be absorbed more easily and quickly when it takes the form of the written (or digital) word.

Vlogging Craze Starting to Emerge

Despite bandwith issues people are quickly jumping on the idea of vlogging. People are starting vlog services, placing their home videos online and developing community vlogging websites. A new Wired article discusses just a few of the many vlogs that have been started.
Many of the vlogs have a home-grown, experimental feel. People capture moments in their everyday lives. Some post cooking lessons, short films or videos of local festivals or family events like graduations. One of the best-known video blogs is Rocketboom, which puts together an irreverent daily news program.

Politicians are also wading in the video-blogging waters. North Carolina Sen. John Edwards is receiving and responding to questions using video. Boston City Councilor John Tobin has a video blog as well.

Clint Sharp, a vlogger who publishes a weekly tech show, said "the potential for everyone to self-publish has the ability to revolutionize the world" by sharing video across cultures and countries.
Wired defines vlogs as blogs that contain primarily short videos instead of text. The Wired article also points out that vlogs have already made the jump to television via the Akimbo service and that there is already a video blog directory at Vlogdir.com. There is no question that podcasts and vlogs will develop into a widely-used medium of there own. But that doesn't mean they will replace blogs. The written word is still the fastest way to absorb new information. However, because vlogs are much more visibile they may take off more quickly than blogs did.
