I hardly ever bother watching that video. I&#8217;d much prefer to have the text version.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve often watched mobuzztv and Iused to enjoy watching the videos but recently I find myself watching them less and less, probably in part due to bandwidth constraints.<\/p>\n<p>I especially avoid watching certain types of interviews because they&#8217;re dull. The interviewer has a bad technique and there&#8217;s no editing. I don&#8217;t want to hear someone talk for three minutes for something that can be summarised into one sentence.  It&#8217;s a shame that video bloggers have not yet learned how to conduct proper interviews.<\/p>\n<p>An interview should be well researched, both material wise, knowing what the person knows about the topic and then charisma wise. Get an interesting subject but unresearched and the questions won&#8217;t give good information. Get a poor speaker and there&#8217;s a good chance the audience will lose interest and stop listening.<\/p>\n<p>get some cut aways and illustrate what the person is saying. Talking heads are boring.<\/p>\n<p>Finally avoid being arrogant, don&#8217;t gloat because you&#8217;ve got an interview with someone most people have never heard of or care about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>When I&#8217;m online I love reading.
