I love Rob's comment about good podcast content being a taskmaster. It's true. I've been podcasting for more than a year and I know the work involved in planning and producing a compelling podcast.

Some organizations are now outsourcing this work -- just as they outsource their advertising, newsletters, etc.

As for video blogs or vlogs -- I think they work well when the visual component helps to convey the message. Talking heads need not apply. ;-)
