I’ve been hired to blog for the new corporate Seesmic blog. I’m trying to get the URL to be blog.seesmic.com, but apparently nobody is listening and it is being hosted at seesmic.typepad.com. So head over there and check out the new content while I hold my tongue about the URL and using Typepad which so far has not endeared me.
Thanks for all your input over here! I’ll see you at the new home 
So many sites are saying it, I feel I’ll get left behind if I don’t say it as well. And I’m not even going to start linking them, since they are so numerous.
I’ve taken some time off and been sick for too much for my liking, but now I’m catching up on my blog reading. And site after site is discussing Seesmic, and what are they saying to keep an eye on? Well, if you read the title, I spoiled it for you. They are talking about Seemic! [look surprised]
So allow me to break it down for you. My dad once told me when I was a boy and had sensitive ears, “Predictions are like armpits, everybody has a couple, and most of the time they stink.” (Ok, he said opinions, not predictions, but that doesn’t flow very well with the point I’m making.) Oh right, the point… lots of folks are saying to keep an eye on Seesmic in 2008. While most of these folks aren’t rocket scientists, they’re no dummies either.
A brief roundup of what I’m Seeing in light of keeping an eye on Seesmic:
1. Video style Twitter is exciting
2. It enhances Twitter, letting us get to know even better those we know on Twitter and blogs.
3. Like YouTube, but with conversation and less garbage.
4. It is a very young application.. it will really improve in 2008.
5. It is where the ‘community’ is
Ok, back to the blogs and Seesmic news to find more gems.
This is old news if you follow this space closely, but Michael Krigsman posted an interview on the 2nd of January of an interview with Seesmic CEO Loic Le Meur.
This interview is more on the business of Seesmic, so if that kind of thing strikes your fancy, it is a good read/listen.
