history
The term “vlog” is an artificial word made up of “video” and “ blog ”.
Since there have been graphical browsers , videos have also been linked on the Internet. It was not just the slow data transfer that prevented this technical application of HTML from spreading more quickly . A link can be placed on an image, but the content analysis is still unsolved to this day (conversion of image to text as the basis for further linking options). Compared to a blog, a vlog already faces the additional expense of not only having to produce films, but also - in order to make them accessible for hyperlinks and especially for web feeds - also have to be documented in text form.
Steve Mann referred to his first results in this field as glogs (cybor g logs ). The word "Vog" is also used as a self-description. With the availability of faster data transfers, more and more blogs will record video sequences and the boundaries between blog and vlog will be blurred.
In analogy to a blog, the posts in a vlog are predominantly the vlogger's own works; this is where a vlog differs from a collection of web videos.
Geovlog

In addition, geospatial data can be added to any video publication in RSS feeds.
Interpretations
