Most recently, candidates for the 2008 presidential election are trying to establish a more personal connection with potential voters through the help of a videoblog.
"It's much more powerful to see them talking directly to their constituents instead of having everything passed down through the media," Gault said. "I do believe the idea of 'Internet television' will be far more popular than blogging."
Jay Dedman, 33, and Ryan Hudson, 27, consider themselves videobloggers, and began in 2004 while they were working together for a television network in Manhattan, N.Y.
They found it extremely difficult to get any ideas onto the screen.
Once they realized they could publish videos easily online, they formed a mailing list to teach others what they knew and an active community formed.
"Imagine when you can sit down at your computer and find out about the world through little videos made by people in places you'll never visit," Hudson said.
"Imagine that you can then have conversations about that video with people you may never meet. Imagine when you can contact the person who made the video directly. Imagine how much clearer the world may be," he said.
