The Seesmic Dinner

Gia - Jan 5, 2008 Oi! I sat across the table from you for the whole end of the evening! We ‘interacted’… sheesh. ;) LOL. You tell him! :) - nah great writeup richard. Sorry never got to talk Gia. Maybe at a future one? Thanks! Phil There should be another event at the beginning of February so that Kosso can join. I’ve also heard from Fred2baro that the French may have one simultaneously in Paris.

The Seesmic Dinner

Last night I had the good fortune of attending the social media dinner at the Coach and horse in London. It was yet another opportunity to meet people like Lloyd, Sizemore, Phil Campbell, Deek, Rupert Howe, Jess and many other seesmic participants. It was also my opportunity to meet some new people. I met Vinvin and Johann from Seesmic for example. They’re part of the Seesmic team in San Francisco. Loic Lemeur arrived a little later so it was great to meet him to.

Twitter is broken and I want an alternative

Twitter is a great idea poorly executed as a result of which I wish there was an alternative. It’s a chatroom that can be used on multiple platform which is what makes it so interesting. The managment however have decided to cancel Api support, or at least throttle it. As a result of this conversation is floundering. As a result of this action twitter has become notoriously unreliable and people are no longer able to keep up to date with what people are doing quite as easily.

The Francofous Seesmic Skype call

Kmeron - Jan 1, 2008 was there, left at like 4am… great thing not planned, and as u said richard, loads of different topics, nice community idea, nice moment :) and yes ledretch, ur a francofou don’t worry ;) A lot of things in the air yesterday night, we were pretty close and not so anonym, just us, alone in the night, just voice to voice. Funny. Thank you Richard to report this.

The Francofous Seesmic Skype call

There are two communities on Seesmic, those that are English speakers and those that are French speakers. The French speaking seesmicers can be recognized by two things. The first one is the Racoon avatar, the second is that they refer to each other as the Francofous, the crazy french. Last night Seesmic went down due to an upgrade gone wrong and as a result many seesmicers didn’t know what to do with their time.

Twhirl as your Twitter interface

Rox - Jan 5, 2008 Update - comments as homage to twitter I’ve been using it for an hour and no crashes with the most recent update. Carry on. I was so going to love twhirl, but it is crashing on me in Leopard. What platform are you running it on? OTOH, I like to colors of the interface. :-)

Twhirl as your Twitter interface

For those of you familiar with twitter there are a number of ways of keeping up with information and my current favourite is Twhirl. What I love about using Twhirl is how well it works. At first it feels clunky. You’ve got to download adobe air, then you’ve got to download twhirl and once this is done you’ve got to get used to the user interface. I went from twitterific to here and the transition was relatively painless.

SeesmicAIR

Critter - Jan 5, 2008 Nice one mate. The main thing I love about it (and, of course, I am biased) is definitely the speed, but also the ability to really be doing something else /while/ doing Seesmic. keep checking www.seesmicAIR.com for updates :)

SeesmicAIR

SeesmicAIR developed by Critter looks like a really fun application for those already using Seesmic. It looks quite similar in appearance to twitter but rather than be based around text content this is based around video. You see the video timeline and as you see a video of interest you click on it to watch. There are two things I love about this. First it’s built in AIR and that’s a great platform.
