Had it not been for the ipod touch I would still care about the Iphone and I’d be down at regent street now with the geeks waiting for the device to be released into the wild. As things are not only can I not afford the device but more than anything else I found it large, clunky and uncomfortable in contrast to the touch. Would you really want to get a phone you can’t use for typing notes in conferences or lectures?
After just one day of use of Seemsic use…

Lovely post Richard, I love what Seesmic has done for the art of conversation. And you yourself bring a very special something to Seesmic, I love your videos….and your accent! ;-)
How many of you have a wifi enabled laptop. How many of you have a wap enabled phone. How many of you have msn messenger. The reason I’m asking you this question is the following. I’ve been using twitter for several months now and it’s whilst working on my dissertation that I wrote the most. Now I’m trying Loic Lemeur’s new video website, Seesmic. It’s based off the twitter principle, that you leave a short video clip, no more than a minute in length about anything, or at least that’s my impression.
Teamwork is a pain because it requires the collaboration of others. As Social Media people this may not sound like a challenge to you since you love having un-conferences and such but to others it’s a real challenge. Someone currently living in my home was telling me about how she would have to do the work of two people because the person whom she was meant to do teamwork with did not understand the question.
If I came from a prestigious university like Cambridge, Oxford or many others were the university is steeped in century old traditions then I would feel a great inclination to go to my graduation. As things stand I don’t feel any need. Everyone else would go to lectures and leave as soon as they could, same with practical work. As a result there was never that great university feeling from those on my course.
The tweekend is a weekend spent reading twitter posts by all those you are following. I found out about this word earlier today because i am following twitionary, an amusing dictionary that takes twitter terminology and brings it into every day parlance. No self respecting twitterholic should live without it. Kidding aside another twittervox took place with Loudmouthman, Documentally and the ever present PhilCampbell. We discussed why it is that whilst in America everyone Loudmouthman met had twitter at podcamp whilst n the UK the opposite was true.
Loudmouthman, amongst others was expressing his desire for a means by which to aggregate all our online data through one central account. I though of Freebase and Openid and how they could work. Google though had other thoughts. Whilst Facebook behaves like a portal opensocial helps agggregate content. Facebook assumes thatyou come to their website, spen an hour there and then disconnect. Opensocial assumes that you are an active participant of the new socialmedia landscape on several websites at a time.
