Why Seesmic?

January 3, 2008 in Uncategorized by Laura | No comments

It’s very, very simple.

I knew ZERO about web video going in. Didn’t have to. You hang out in the browser, hit a button to record, another to stop & then click and it’s live (and on your Twitter if you choose).

It’s newsy

I can try to be useful and interesting and share info. Who knows if I succeed, but I can try easily. If 1000 people try, someone will be great.

It’s silly

Can’t believe I am actually pointing this one out to people.

It’s immediate

It’s conversational

And hard to keep up with, but you can take it at your own speed.

It’s human

That last one I struggled to blog or tweet or explain in some way. I never meant to get so emotional on video. But, could text have possibly been so real at telling that story?
