Why videoblogging can be great for deaf people

This was a surprise for me: “I am so excited about the idea of videoblogs being utilized by a deaf community. As a child I had several deaf or hearing impaired friends …sign language is visual (it is extremely expressive and can be poetic like dance) and there’s meaning conveyed in the physicality of this language - just like a verbal one- that cannot be conveyed in text.”

Follow up: it turns out some deaf people, even though they can see and read, find written language somewhat hard because they lack auditor memory. So for deaf people videoblogging, if easy enough, could be huge.
