Today I am going to put http://www.Seesmic.com to the test. I have just watched their HOW TO video, and now I am ready to play, uh, test. Seesmic seems to work in a way very similar to other social media sites. You can follow conversations, but they are all face to face conversations - or really screen to screen conversations. Just like in twitter, you can follow, send direct messages and even view the public timeline.
Registering for an account is FREE and SIMPLE (two of my favorites). I just picked a user name, entered the email address and a password and just a second ago this appeared in my Inbox
Welcome to Seesmic. We are so glad you are here!
We built Seesmic so that you would have a place to communicate and connect online through video conversation. It’s so easy. All you have to do is record a video directly from Seesmic, a mobile phone, or even upload an existing video straight from your computer to start a conversation.
So what to record first? Hows my hair? Is the lighting good enough in here? UH OH, I can see the first problem for me. With Twitter, I can hide behind the screen, with only that cute photo of me from my Kayaking Adventure in Thailand. But what’s this, I’ll need to be screen ready if I am doing Seesmic Videos. Mr. DeVille, I am ready for my close up
OK now that I have my first lame post out of the way, you try it. Come on, it won’t bite.
