What is your definition of "performative"?

What made blogs so popular was the ease to
publish. Practically anyone who could write
and use a browser was a potential blogger, 
without the need to learn new technologies.
Don't you think that vogs demand much more
from potential voggers, with a much steeper
learning curve, setting them apart from the
blogger movement?

How exactly the writing in a blog is interactive?
In comparison with your vogs, most blogs are not
interactive at all.

Why did you choose QuickTime over Flash?

Could a vog be Hitchcock with a PC and a modem?
