How seesmic caught me properly!
Once upon a time, we were used to say that spoken words fly away, written words remain.
That's not true anymore. Well, I must confess that is one of the reasons why I'm not really a big fan of video.
Anyway, 7 months ago, which is approximately seesmic's age, I tested the service. (remember?)
At this stage, it was buggy, my webcam was not that great, and I was unable to record anything with both image and sound. So, I let it go, just leaving a funny wish-comment.
Following time to time some rewarding conversations. I will not give you examples, you just have to go exploring on seesmic. Content is also made to be watched. That was my first step.
Since a couple of weeks -- from the Cannes festival I guess-- the pace has dangerously accelerated!
Many great conversations. For the first time, I was almost frustrated not to respond. Almost ;-)
That's why tonight when I saw on Otir's blog there was a new feature allowing to directly answer from her blog, just by clicking the red button, I tried it.
Easy, as a pie. Kinda twitter but for video conversations. Too easy! That's how they caught me!
In French, that's good for your cultural background ;-) You can reply in english, spanish or whatever the language you speak. You even can hear me in white version. That's so Beatles! ;-)
Just click on reply. It appears when you launch the video. If you don't have an account yet, it creates one as fast as Roberto Benigni talks.
By the way, seesmic has got something Italian, you even can talk with your hands. Give it a try.
At this time there's no way to send private video or set to whom you would give access.
I don't know if this kind of feature is in the pipe. I guess the list of priorities is as long as a Scobble speech but it could be great to get this kind of feature.
I do not swear that I will be an hyper active user, but right now, I know this is accessible, quickly and easily. Really easily.
Probably as much as the first time one was just speaking to someone else being heard thousands of miles away.
One must live with its time and it would appear that the one of video arrives.
See you on seesmic ;-)
