Vlog It for $29... Another Tool For The Blogging Toolbox?

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker- The Real Estate Group, Inc.

I was reading my daily email version of Realtor- The Daily Real Estate News and came across another tool to help enhance Real Estate Blogs. The Adobe Store has available a product called Vlog It which creates video blogs, according to the advertising it's faster and easier than traditional video editing software. In fact they compare it to having an automatic TV newsroom in your computer.

Vlog It appears to be filled with features; drag and drop photos, video clips or music, teleprompter for narration, webcam feature for "the personal newscast", Flash video and capability to digitally replace the background behind you.

Is Vlog It an indispensable tool we dare not pass up or at $29 is it one of those "if sounds to good to be true...." deals. My thought is that if it's coming from Adobe it should have some credibility. I would like to hear your thoughts on the product and reviews if anyone has tried it out.

Bob- Thanks for sharing this information. I also agree that vlogging is a way to set yourself apart in the blogosphere... American buyers are already very visual. A picture says a thousand words, but a video says a million.

Also-- I wanted to thank you for stopping by to say "welcome" to my newbie post.

Tina- Apparently nobody at AR has heard of Vlog It or used it, I'm tempted to spend the $29 and check it out.

Bob,

What is your initial impression of Vlog?  I'm curious as to your first thoughts.

My initial thought is that Vlog It is exactly what I was looking for. I'd like to combine podcasting and vidcasting and Vlog It would fit the bill. It sounds like a great tool for doing a mini online seminar, buyer and seller testimonials, etc. The price is what throws me off, it would seem now a days you just can't buy much for $29. I'd love to hear from someone thats tried it out. I'm thinking I'll probably spend the 29 bucks and see for myself and then post my results.

Bob,  I will look into Vlog It and it certainly sounds like something to add to my "tool box" for serious marketing.
