I completely second your comment, that was also my first thought when reading the TechCrunch post. Youtube "conversations" give a clear idea of what makes sense in this area - and it does not include quick and reactive exchanges on daily activities. Things may evolve, but for now it sounds like it's a "twitter works, online video is a hit, so let's do twitter on video" kind of idea. Video FaceBook anyone? :-)

Never thought about this issue, but this seems so obvious : it's easier to read twitts than to watch videos. Especially if you follow many friends.
Let's hope Seesmic is not only a video-twitter (and I guess it's not).
By the way, I've discovered your blog lately and I just want to say : très bon blog, merci ! :)

It actually is also easier to write twits while e.g. at work than to record a video. I watched some of Loic's video and he seems to have trouble himself to get motivated for the one video per day.. And Twitter is not about one tweet a day but about well, 100s? ;-)
But we will see :-)

The ability to take a quick look in the video is a minus. I just did a Seesmic post today on the need for tags (and categories) since it's so hard to tell what stuff is about. You can't even have much of a description and the titles get cut off (not much info for the search engines either).
