I managed to snag an invitation late last night from Loic Lemeur<\/a> (one of those seriously type-a business people) for his newest web venture Seesmic<\/a>. This morning I got everything setup and recorded my first Seesmic video<\/a>. It’s a short (53 seconds) first attempt and I’m blown away. The website can get access to the webcam and microphone on my computer and record as a video whatever the webcam sees. That gets packaged as a video on their site and immediately sends a tweet to my Twitter<\/a> account letting anyone following me (or tracking Seesmic) know that I’ve posted a video. It is amazingly easy to do.<\/p>\n

Loic (it’s kind of funny using his first name … I’ve never met him!) is one of the people I follow on Twitter. He’s in the startup mode on this new company and each day records a video about what happened that day during the startup. That is what got me interested in him to begin with. Well, he also hobnobs with all the important people … such as dinner at the White House with President Bush and the French President a couple of days ago. After flying back to France on the French President’s airplane, he mentioned on Twitter than he had a few invites to give away. Being johnny-on-the-spot, I replied and got an invite.<\/p>\n

Almost immediately after finishing the video, Seesmic sent out a tweet in Twitter (I didn’t know it was going to do that). Within seconds, I got a tweet from my son James in Missouri about the video. That’s when I looked at Twitter and saw the notification. A few minutes later, I sent a tweet: “Well, Seesmic is pretty dang cool. I just recorded a first brief (thankfully) video on Seesmic and within seconds all of Twitterland knows!” One minute later, the man himself replied: “loiclemeur @rolandksmith thanks for your feedback ‘Well, Seesmic is pretty dang cool.'”<\/p>\n

I’m impressed. Another minute of my fifteen minutes of fame….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
