    What is coming for seesmic? * Growth! Beta! Change in numbers means change in operation and assimilation of new ideas- everything needs to be large scale.
    How did it get started? Loic’s idea..the idea to talk with people..the same conversation as in twitter or blogs, but with fast video. 80good quality programming (i hope says vinvin)
    How is it being used?/What is it about? -Making the news of your friends into shows… for fun or for business, politics, sports etc…building a world conversation. Australia, England, France…all on the same subject, sharing things, debates, problems, ideas. Fun! People are connecting in a new way and communicating better because of he incorporation of body language! Conversation. 20 seconds about nothing or a BIG discussion.
    Why is it cooler than other video services..?

    -you can reply to things with video, adult, like in real life, not live so it allows you to choose your words, etc. post very fast video- in a second. Easy to use. No install. Fast. Record directly to Seesmic servers- no need to store the video on your own computer. Better than video email.
