The spinning vortex of change continues to manipulate the people’s lives and even in the virtual community. As the 2007 starts, a new set of high tech gadgets will surly be emerging especially when it come to communication gadget. The virtual community is not exempted with the changes that is happening.

Let me refresh your memory about some changes that occurred just recently inside the virtual community. Blogging or weblogging becomes a daily routine on the net. Weblogging comes from the word “web log”, a log file from the website, but due to unceasing development inside the virtual community, the web log turned into weblog - a text blogging then turns into blogging. Before, this blogging is used to just express the thoughts and ideas, but as it goes by, it turns again into another phase where this blogging was used to promote the products and services offered online. Furthermore, that this blogging is easier for the search engines to be crawled.

As the maxim goes, “picture paints a thousand words.” How much more when their is a moving element. The next next generation of blogging comes the video blogging. Compared to pictures, video blog can stimulate more including the fiber senses of the visitor that will visit your blog. However, there are only a bit of difference of text blogging from video blogging, only it requires a greater speed and high computer specification to be able to handle the videos that may be posted.

In some other areas of the world, especially the less developed countries or still developing countries, their knowledge about computer and internet has been insufficient due to their limited access. In the Philippines for example, the knowledge that had been passed by most of the mentors to their students about internet lacks the real essence of what is really happening inside the virtual community. But due to some insistent Filipino who had been working online and through the help of the media, this point of view is being changed gradually. Kudos to the Filipino internet marketers.
