Bloggingheads.tv was started in the fall of 2005 by two journalists who had long been attracted to the idea of pontificating on TV and wondered whether the new economics of the Internet—which had already turned thousands of not-very-good writers into print pundits—could turn two not-very-telegenic people into video pundits. A tech-guy came up with a cost-effective system for creating split-screen streaming videos featuring two people in remote locations and—voilá!—the first “diavlog” was created.
Now the diavlogs have extended beyond the original creators of bloggingheads and include professors from MIT and other top rated universities, editors and contributors to the Nation, Newsweek, Mother Jones, Slate.com and more, and comedians and authors.
They discuss everything from the Olympics, to the election, to moral realism. I suggest you check it out. Click here to go to their front page.
