I don't see how it necessarily offers a "window" into someone's soul to have a blurry webcam running on them. The webcam probably won't add anything to the context of a post, and more likely than not the image is either going to be someone staring into the screen or an empty chair when they're not there.
The process of watching a writer write is not as insightful as, say, watching an artist paint.
There may be something to combining video and text into some kind of blogging system - because I could almost see it working on mobile with pictures of just about anything else. You write a post, you take some video, it just goes.
But this just seems superficial and even a bit vain. Also potentially dangerous. Digital blurs can be removed after all, can't they?
