Howard Rheingold, a technology/culture writer and noted shoe painter, has just launched a vlog, where he’ll be sharing his experiences in the online world.
Twenty years ago, I wrote “A Slice of Life in My Virtual Community”. When I thought about updating it, I realized that video is better than text for showing how I spend time online. This is the first in a series of short videos documenting my use of social media in my professional and personal life.

i’m sad that howard’s videoblog doesnt have comments or enclosures in his feed. feels more like a plain ol website with video embedded. but excited to see him putting videos out in the world!
Howard gave me a sneak peak last month. What I really like about it is:
a)It narrated in such a way that *anyone* could understand what these social tools are and how to use them, and more importantly start using them right away
b)It will serve as a fascinating time capsule. In 10 years we’ll forget much about what was exciting on a day-to-day basis right now. Just as his slice of life from 20 years ago makes you go “oh yeah, that’s right, I forgot about that” what he’s doing now will be equally beneficial.
Thanks for the post, Scott.
ryanne, we’re still working adding comments and feed enclosures to the vlog.
