Forget Twitter: Seesmic.com creates online video converations
Thursday, March 20th, 2008 running time 16:20
Seesmic.com has been described as the video version of Twitter. Loic Le Meur, fouder and CEO of Seesmic, joins us to discuss whether online video conversation will be the next big thing.
With a successful history of flipping four Internet startup companies and racking millions, Loic Le Meur is working on unveiling his newest startup, Seesmic . The company is currently in alpha.
Typically, Seesmic's video conversation cover a wide range of topics - everything from Benazir Bhutto's assassination to an U. S. soldier in Iraq connecting with Seesmic members. The company does not have a high overhead cost. In part, server bandwidth are subsided due to the low quality of direct video recordings via webcam. Unlike most online video sites that rely on a video upload model, Seesmic provides an online built-in user interface that enables participates to record their personal video note directly to Seesmic's servers. This could be the future of conversation over the web.
Le Meur says with passion, "Why is conversation so big on TV... and why should it not exist on the web?"
Hitlines:
Joyce is back this week with a couple of buzzing startups from Korea.
1 - tnccompany.com:
TNC is an open source blogging platform which is very similar to Wordpress in its service offerings. TNC's original hosted version, Tistory.com, was the only new startup site on Korea's top ten website list last year - which is a major accomplishment given the monopoly that the large Korean web companies like Naver and Daum exert on the web market.
1 - Olaworks:
Olaworks is a facial recognition system that works for both photos and videos. It is similar to both Riya and http://www.viewdle.com which demoed at TechCrunch40, but their facial recognition engine works on both video and photos. They have already completed their Series A funding by Intel Capital and Skylake(a Korean VC fund). I expect to see them coming to the US market very soon.

One that is open source blogging software platforms really select what we have a word press is -- TNC it's a chance to copy dot com. They have hosted and it downloadable version just you know very same model there's the amounts were pressed and their original host of version was called T story dot com and there was some -- down last year basic thing is because it's an open source software tool. Neighbor that Saddam was able to buy this site but. Can't do anything about the actual technology so the founders were not subject to a non compete are back at it again on the repackaging their their software as a service and offering out to people there have a downloadable English cream version hosted version. Is just -- now also expect to see the US -- coming hasn't really interestingly -- funding and it definitely it definitely is on their product I tested a bit when I was there. Much easier to use and workers I must say I think that yes I'm a novice blogger I'm not a regular person. Yeah I think immediately and -- and that if but I think it was easier to use. They had more detailed analytics and he. -- and that they have is really innovative is structured. And much more intuitive way than you seem most US blogging software so good to see that coming out on the -- coming up this year so I'll keep you posted I'm sure we'll see some congressman eminent figures lightening when they had been listening to market. -- thinking about that company is that their founder Chester wrote.

I really -- so that's critical onto season some people can it can happen here in the in the -- Yeah company with I was all the works -- Koppel works is that video -- official -- justice system or some video and photos from the lot. It's -- so quick to react and -- Which I think you've covered before on your TV -- Great wasn't so like demo on their mobile phone application so they offer web version like everybody else and and it downloadable -- they haven't downloadable mobile applications so they took several pictures of me. From their mobile phone in different angles and making funny faces and after the first pictured looking into their database and they they naturally spend -- subsequent pictures that they -- on the mobile phone. It was able to -- me to my profile in their database but with every time after of those people that work. Yeah yeah on the -- to know what those kind of technologies mean we've seen a bunch of companies that you mentioned -- and you don't come along. And their -- their strong on the technology side -- even if they mean. Eight got a couple of technology Richard works at. We be that we ever figured out a market for an idea I mean has lot of different things like pre announcing shopping center shopping so old it's actually -- really shop shopping utterly stupid but their. There their initial starting -- was special relationship and it and it and it's pretty impressive -- they have reacted differently and they do they have their series a are you done four million dollars by Intel. And dilate which is -- cream BC on and I expect them. To pony coming to US market with an eight years so maybe looking for series B and definitely a product sold and."
" Local things -- our report. So quick housekeeping. Last week's episode -- with Philip -- without the CEO of second but. And very soon after he stepped down at the back at which I think makes our interview with and a -- that he did before. While he was still bringing -- you sold the company can no longer CEO you can read all about that story at GigaOM dot com. You can also watch that in our. Moving on to today's we will be joined by it locally here who is. The most famous French serial Internet entrepreneur he recently became clear across the Atlantic to start his new company he.

So why talk a little bit about season again and gives updates you guys are still in private beta and tried it out."
" Yes it makes it simple on the closet we're just you know so amazement -- court -- we're gaining on them blogs and social suffer like this move foreigners. And he's just wanted to nimble closing you. So -- subsequent -- conversation site and she's a sneak outside the veto puts every minute from now from 25 countries. And it continues as a platform where we want renewable those conversations on blogs and after it was like your."
" So actually talking man these conversations is it pretty much a reflection of what you see -- twitter other kinds of micro blogging tools works like their daily life. I am heading to the post office is now old -- is about prove greatest -- yeah I think that that what you see different kind of conversation going on because of the video aspect."
" Excellent to answer your question of the -- conversations ranged from. You know been as it when Benazir Bhutto is this an entity was the entirety it was only about. We ads -- shortly US soldier shot -- since Nutrasweet. Which -- it was a highlight because on to talking to a but I stopped looking to move under assisting members. Christian who isn't in Shanghai right now. So you don't mean that elect global conversation. We've been a solely in Iraq people in the US people in Europe people in Asia that was amazing so let's you know kind of -- Hi incarcerations. You can know people very very well there're people where I feel like they -- much better than actually people in Edmonton --"
" Do you think that averages will go for the same seems endless but what is little that you could count as an impression. Compared to the longer you know kind of you -- each -- shorter public five -- ten minute -- they see that I'm expecting you guys want a lot of shorter clips. Right to do expect I'd have to respond to thinks he can level you know me uploading 1032 car today as opposed to it you know we."
" We've podcast if you think about contextual advertising when he launched in -- and to present for nobody expected you would miss -- obedience right who leads the industry and a bit we're making is that exactly the same will happen instead of a -- written deal right. And it's not going to take that yours is going to take freedom fighters right and to be ready you have to look Clinton now. An -- of a continental feet the most vote court sessions in sees me he's obviously. You know these type of new formats we see we've all the days to whoever released on the news we usually covers are experimenting. And obviously the average fuel -- because it took me six cope with the first second writer that's for sure -- not -- left to revolt but again he's very targets and then you know you can put an overly you can -- but we are really you know listening to a community so one thing which are raised it it's funny because -- winning -- of some restaurants shopping sees me. Based I hope I would I get Mike Brown out there and it's amazing how many people to sneak. I'm certain that we had to -- a -- out of Internet. Are all right match our overhead and who showed up and ask how can don't have supports its. And we don't like to spend some sponsors are woman who said well let me give you some ideas we want samples are against feedback. Right so it's like -- focus group nothing to lose again here it's much more engaging in his second life focus group."
" You know other -- so hopefully the micro blogging format if people forced to rethink how that you -- just move up the kind of hero mayoral. Modeled I think a lot Cuba pushing forward and you're right money right now that it's funny I thought."
" I just heard you know I've talked about the companies and -- to San Francisco and I -- if -- state there's the bigger picture here there's a bigger idea here. But now there aren't any sense but now we're seeing the micro blogging its beat you twitters didn't -- yeah yeah she says it did you know I think that's true like something that we're not getting."
" He's not the news leader but he helps -- First -- I think there's so much Marc -- friendships that the right. View of it whoever it was that doesn't it fill out the full social networking it's a full social networking site. And the platform entirely in view when we're doing his first -- yet. We've already 150 developers building. This is yes that's number yes for something that is not launch has not public and it's it's great sense of it creating. You know -- science and one of the things that must Prada -- me. It is not. But if you look to must've users there are not -- bloggers -- not you know because. But yeah you can anybody can do you deal. So -- apps we have the actual problem. Who's using sees me all the time to get industries. Viewers is -- sorry Andy has millions of readers. And that the second ease that were able to. Our conversations which will go to towards recently on blogs so for example you have a blog posts are yet to show right. -- between the text comments and the blog posts will be able to barter deal. We should not very express you you go to tried that but I think it's very interesting you know why these conversations will be on T. And shouldn't exist on the web that's their vision basic instinct it's going to -- are -- it. Your buildings making content is also in the picture yet there well it's not such as you know resident -- I'm very impressed living your your. But no we're just we're just trying to understand what clued in user generated. So when -- Google opensocial launched it created such a -- section. That we'd made a short out of all the comments of -- user so we ended up with five Dennis Tito. We each package that was all the head of opensocial -- he wasn't -- bond you know people around the globe. Talking about opensocial and and -- but so we're trying to build those shows and yeah."
" It works pretty well so I think they'll -- account won't last for a question you. Most of financing that's nice things Sylvia that that you closer Tuesday with the who's who list of it that's great how all that and alas you and when eagle and you're ready for rent two because they're brought it -- they must be eating meat eating tons of money and not know that I had to let you finish your question but no. About it because I don't know -- congress I think people thought yeah."
" Some good news this is what we have not compared to shoot right zero beacons on the use talking animals called creative -- look back well maybe. But so were careful some people are using music and social work if we don't let the second the average -- two minutes. So it's actually you very small low quality because we can't do better with the -- what -- so it's not so expensive environment. So -- work longer on local and very very careful I have been proven bubble. Right he's not an expert companies. And I -- third second company. It's my fault. Anybody and yeah. So that I invested Olson -- about fifteen companies as a -- Angeles you know help many companies before crisis like yeah that's the last thing I want. But not to your mind I am I scared I am like every entrepreneur you know I really want is to succeed so we're very very cautious. And we will let you we don't do any marketing for example we don't have you know business development team because -- and yeah. I don't know -- just lot of what it tells till last question then a -- ever seen live streaming and he's an excellent conversation. It's a great person that I nurses us increase use where betting that revealed -- is because. I think. I'd like life but generally it's kind of difficult to not be boring. He's running segment of time to cover yet of course -- only friends that these -- an hour. Generally use you know it's not seem so you validity to it'll be too because -- generally boring steel faculty who are. But that's a point we've tonight and senate went through those -- thanks. I never could stage for a long time in terms of according to partition where does yes include news. In view of personal -- to be there what you're doing c.'s meet you took whatever you like. You -- up and leave your friends but that was my original idea but we're kind of this unit of my friends and -- And so I really believe this increase will be will be being so right now numbers in the -- to -- to Manila and it's very crowded but it is and it plays well thanks so much for joining we really appreciate having you here. And as always -- at she's making -- publicity on the progress. And we'll be right back with your your feedback -- states and."

That's it's a question and I want to famous English but I doubt we'll have -- I'm miles I have a comment came in from help fighter on our forms. This -- our last episode with -- rose hill he writes an after watching this episode I decide to log back into second life. There is nothing to do on it it's so ugly and slowed somebody Google to hang out very millions of people or something. So little harsh on second life that we've been getting a lot of comments and feedback talking about how slow it is there and how does not as many people -- are you should be.

Geeze, that sucks that my forum post was the most interesting thing to put up, ha ha. I didn't know you guys put up forum postings. I always thought those were all people directly writing email. Obviously I don't get on here a lot. If I'd of known, I would've tried to be more elegant, but I guess that has to do with my previous statement that I don't use this a lot, and was actually moved by trying SL again to the extent that I impulsively logged on to slam out a post.Anyway, I stand by that SL is a pretty unfulfilling experience--unless you spend some money and invest some time. I kept investigating for a bit more and found some cool places, like that environment you did the interview in. I think it's called Svarga. I don't remember you guys mentioning where it actually was on the show, but it should've been mentioned as it is probably the most well-built place I'd ever been to on SL.
Anyway, The GigaOm Show is the most well-done show on Revision3, I think. I didn't catch any mention of when Seesmic.com will be public, but it may have just slipped my mind from the surprise of my blunt forum post being read.
