Loic Le Meur's Vision of Programmable Twitter Clients
- JayNeely 17y agoThis could get me to switch to Seesmic, and maybe even learn to program, too. I see twitter client after twitter client that reproduces the majority of the functionality of its competitors, but each with one unique difference. It'd be great to not have to always be checking out new clients and deciding if the utility of its unique feature is worth the effort of using another app.
- volida 17y agoAlthough it sounds fancy, this reminds me the 90s. Sorry.
- dotBen 17y agoHow does this remind you of the 90's? (I'm involved in Seesmic, as both a disclosure but also a "direct to the source" opportunity!).
- volida 17y agoProgrammable e-mail clients e.g. Eudora. Of course most of the Internet users today, weren't users in the 90s, so this doesn't mean you wont find users to appreciate what you are offering.
- dotBen 17y agoThe idea is not to expect end users to program their client. The idea is to allow 3rd party developers to build scripts/plugins/etc that users can download and change their twitter client experience. Think less Eudora and more Firefox plugins.
- volida 17y agoIdeas are personal. I just said I am not impressed. Maybe I will in the future when I see what others have built.
- Concours 17y agoDoes seesmic has any Business Model, I guess yes, but I just can't figure it out. Does someone understand how they plan to make money? (advertising, selling the client with premium features?....)
- chubbard 17y agosoooo Seesmic got a lot of money from Microsoft to port their next version to windows first using silverlight.
