Seesmic is just a plain terrible idea though. Growth first, profit after is a great proven model which works well, but not if your idea is lame to start with.

There's no evidence to suggest people want to view slow videos of people making comments/waffling, rather than reading them. Seesmic traffic barely registers.
- nickb 18y agoMost people don't bother about video comments since most of them are by people who are promoting themselves and they're also very low on info density. You can read a paragraph in few seconds and it takes you minutes to get the same thing from a video comment. Video is perfect for teaching but I don't think it's great for quick bursts of communication. I think video comments are going to be irrelevant in the long run. It's interesting to make a parallel with video phone. Video phone never took off because people didn't want to be bothered with checking how they look before they answer a phone. Fixing hair, shaving, etc... why bother with that?
