Mobile Video Blog can be defined as video blogging using a mobile device. The article discussed by Simmons (2008) stated that, "since the marriage of webcams and broadband, the videoblog has become a familiar sight." The development of technology has definitely made the web an interesting place to surf for. According to Walsh (2006), multimodal texts are those with more than one mode so meaning is communicated through a synchronization of modes,which are written or spoken language, still or moving images, they may be produced on paper or electronic screen and may incorporate music and sound. Mobile video blogging includes modes such as moving images and with spoken languages or without through mobile devices.
Before the development of mobile video blog, videos are usually being translate and written on blog. Some of it may have a picture for a better understanding but sometimes it may mislead them or the picture become a distraction to the text (Shriver, 1997). Mobile video blogging is essentially easier because it is faster and more convenient, at anywhere and anytime.
The latest technology by several mobile phones manufacturer has create video blog, editing, and live streaming compared to before. According to Nielsen (2000), if the website is difficult to handle, people will tend to leave it. Simmons (2008) describes that once an application is downloaded, it is pretty simple to "go live". In another story, Hans Cronberg, Chief Technical Officer of Play Mobile in Poland describes that "videoblog is a new service, enabling Play subcribers with YouTube account to upload movie clips by making a 3G video phone call" (Wind Mobile).
For my personal opinion, mobile video blog has become so famous due to the convenience of the mobile phone. Things that are usually being done in the computers are able to be fulfilled using the mobile phone, which is small and convenience to carry around and this is the reason that contribute to the success of mobile video blog.
