As i really didn’t see Twitter’s value at the beginning, I want to be at least one of the Seesmic pioneers, so I just signed up for their alpha release. So Twitter, sorry for being late, but of course I already found an excuse, let me quote Robert Scoble and Shel Israel: “Revolutions usually start of small, making few claims”.

Starting small - so I guess it’s Ok to miss the beginning of one of these revolutionary ideas, I’ll pay more attention to this kind of stuff in the future, and let me quote Robert Scoble and Shel Israel again: “… humans are wired to collaborate. Altruism turns people on even more than making money. That makes blogging the sex god of the Information Age”. So this is definitely something to pay attention to.

So what is Seesmic exactly? I found a pretty extensive review in William Tildesley’s Blog:

“Loïc Le Meur’s new startup seesmic has been gaining popularity in the online world. Currently in private beta the service allows users to upload videos and share videos, much like YouTube. The difference being seesmic allows you to show off your videos on a variety of other ‘web applications’, currently the popular micro-blogging service twitter.”

And later he says:

“Loïc’s done something brand new in creating his startup. Using video he has allowed interested parties to see the creation of his startup which can only be a good thing. His videos could be a great resource for anyone wanting to create their own startup and I can definitely see them being used as an education resource somewhere down the line.”

That is a pretty cool concept indeed, here is the link to Loïc Le Meur’s Blog. Of course I’ll share my experience once I got a chance to play with Seesmic.
