The hot topic at Webzine was videoblogging (aka vlogging), which is funny because video as a medium seems about as far from the traditional print ‘zines as one can get. Behold the synergizing power of the internets.

Thus some of the videobloggers at the conference had set up a studio in the spirit of a Real World™ confessional booth—complete with a green screen and everything. But being the shy text blogger that I am, I wasn’t going out of my way to speak in front of a camera. Except that in the middle of a panel on podcasting someone nabbed me–she was tall and blond–and I found myself trying to construct coherent sentences in front of a camera lens (about whatever I wanted) while the discussion was booming below.

Tonight I discovered the end result. I was included in a compliation of several other confessors from Webzine. Click the thumbnail below to see my 42 seconds of fame.

The best part is, they replaced the green screen behind me with a screenshot of my blog! Which happens to show my liveblogging post of the Webzine conference. How meta!
