I am keenly interested in the concept of astroturfing-- what wikipedia defines as "formal public relations projects which deliberately seek to engineer the impression of spontaneous, grassroots behavior"-- and this will be the central connecting point of my entries.

Not sure exactly what my vlogs will entail, but the style I am definite about (copyright permitting), and will reflect a 'Sex and the City' influence. Each vlog will begin with a question that is typed up onto a computer screen that is being filmed-- Carrie style-- and cut to quick 8 second soundbites that answer it.

If permitted, I will film some speakers at a conference I am attending about how new technologies such as podcasting, blogs and SMS impact upon the journalism and public relations industries, and perhaps incorporate that into my vlogs.

Then again, I might just film my cat. She's pretty cute
