Last week I put out the call for video posts on the topic of ‘Why I Blog’. This is a ‘group project’ of sorts and my hope was to see bloggers experiment with producing videos all around the same topic.
The result was 36 bloggers tackling the challenge and submitting their videos. The videos exceeded my expectations with a while range of bloggers participating. We have bloggers who have just started out along side bloggers who’ve made a successful business from blogging. We have bloggers from around the world (and even one video in Spanish), bloggers young and old, male and female, human and…. dog. Some are serious, some funny, some abstract….
Some of the videos are ‘talking head’ in style, others get a little creative (and at times bizarre) - but all take up the topic and run with it.
As promised in my launch post - here they are. I hope you enjoy this mashup of voices. Thanks to each blogger who submitted a video - I hope I didn’t miss anyone!

The loose coupling of data drawn from different systems is one of the enduring appeals of mashups. However, what if some of that data needs to be handled securely, or it is necessary to log in to some or all of the data feeds?
