Video Blogs Boring?
Slashdot, highlighted an article by Jakob Nielson discussing why talking heads on the internet are boring - and why most video blogs will be boring. While this isn’t a huge revelation (a few views of video blogs or online video of people just talking *at* you would help you figure this out yourself), Nielson backs up his discussion with eyetracking studies. Evidently, people are easily distracted by items in the background of a video, text boxes, etc, and Nielson includes a sample eyetracked video in his blog post.
