Diavlog

A diavlog (sometimes written "dia-vlog" by some bloggers) is a type of video blog (or "vlog") generally in which two people participate (although it can be more than two people), as contrasted with a (mono)vlog in which one contributor is featured. The word "diavlog" is a portmanteau of the phrase "dialog video weblog" (or, alternately, "video weblog dialog"). The diavlog format is most popular for political, world events, or other types of conversational video blog discussions in which two (or more) people are actively participating in a real-time, give-and-take discussion of ideas.

The term "diavlog" was first adopted and put into wide use by the creators of , Robert Wright and Mickey Kaus, though its original coinage is subject to debate.

The term has come to be used heavily in the blogosphere and among journalists who frequently (or infrequently) participate in the encounters.
