Seesmic Blog

This could be a recurring theme for a post, although I don’t want to be negative. But the current menu on the left side of Seesmic is so, so frustrating. I get different results every time up refresh, and not because things are updating either. I get from 0 results, to days ago results. And if I change from one to another, like go from public to friends, oh man, hang on, frustration is on the way. I understand it is a fancy flippy visually fun menu, but the more videos that arrive, the more frustrating it becomes. Resulting is multiple logouts and logins per day. And don’t even get my started on when the menu button like Public grays out. Happens all the time.

Now full disclosure here. I am using Firefox on Linux. My sole operating system right now. Maybe the menu works flawlessly on Safari on the Mac and on whatever on Windows, but I find Firefox to be pretty similar an experience as it was on Windows.

Ok, so I say all that to say this. Perhaps it’s just a bit much Flex. Or needs to be tuned some more for the increased loads it is getting. Based on other large sites using Flex, I have to believe Seesmic is doable on this platform.

UPDATE: I posted something on Seesmic about this as well:
