Fantastic Seesmic
A few months back, I went to a Seesmic party at the invitation of Johann Romefort (Had an amazing time meeting the Seesmic community). Johann is CTO and the technical brainiac behind Seesmic. Today is Johann’s birthday and everybody should go to his site and say “Bon Anniversaire Monsieur Cheveaux Bouclé!” God knows I am absolutely smitten with his cuteness but fortunately for you this post is not about my infatuation with his lovely locks.
If you don’t already know about Seesmic, this is my rather late attempt at giving French entrepreneur Loic Le Meur’s latest project some good ol’ promo. A micro-blogging web application, Seesmic enables you to have conversations with other users on the platform. It uses Flash video so you’ll need to have a webcam and an acceptably stable broadband connection to get in on the fun. I could dissect and describe all day about how it works, but it’s better if you tried it for yourself so do jump in and have conversations with people. It’s kind of like a video Twitter, except there isn’t a 140 second restriction on the length of the video.
I guess my point is, if Deepak Chopra, George Lucas, Cate Blanchett, Harrison Ford, and Steven Spielberg are on Seesmic, why aren’t you?
P/S: On a separate note, I just noticed Loic very quickly responded to Brian Solis’ PR Secrets post on Techcrunch calling it bullshit. Woa way to go Loic for the honesty! Read them both, the Techcrunch article first and then Loic Le Meur’s post second, then let me know your thoughts.
