Text, Audio, or Video? How to Choose

Text microblogging sites are way ahead of audio or video ones. Remember not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera or has an interesting voice for audible recordings. Video microblogging is not real time unless you are using a live video feed. You need a fast connection or you won’t get good audio or video quality.

Video microblogging has a wow factor. It’s fairly easy to get up and running since most new computers and laptops have cameras built in. The sites that offer video microblogging are web-based so there is no special software to purchase and download. You always have an archive of recorded conversations and it’s inexpensive.

Podcasts can be used as easy demos and feedback when you can’t be there in person; the comments are much easier to follow than texts which can lead to misunderstandings.
