Spielberg on Seesmic
Spielberg, George Lucas and Shia on Seesmic…
When I think about it… In late June of past year I began to write the first lines of code of seesmic. Today We have Spielberg, Shia, George Lucs and potentially other celebrities who posted on our platform. I m living that in direct with my friend Cyrille (Vinvin) at my apartment, it s pure moment of history…

Love it to see seesmic making his way into the comics 
Critter, the modified seesmic community developer
Critter is one of the first seesmic user who reverse engineered our API. Patiently, with Service Capture as his main weapon of choice, he found out the inner and working of our client - server communication, and used it to build an AIR application so you ll be able to have seesmic on your desktop.
SeesmicAIR is now in private beta, and truly rocks ! I m always very excited to see new features popping up in the client few hours after we release new update of the API, and we are now working closely with Critter to make sure he can take advantage of the platform we re building, and that his work complements ours ( as we also develop our own seesmic AIR client).. So stay tuned for more announce on this anytime soon…
The way I envision seesmic on a technical point of view, is truly as a constantly evolving ecosystem, a platform which provides bricks to build new kind of video applications, not just made by us, but also by a myriad of 3rd party developers. So if you have any project and need some help digging up the API, send me a word, the tech team will take some time to guide you so you can begin to happily hacking cool new apps !
Oh and beside being a brillant developer Critter likes to modify parts of his body, last modification being… the seesmic raccoon on his leg ! Critz, keep up the good work, we just love how you re passionated!
And the raccoon…
New seesmic version online : Threads, Replies, Mobile coming soon
Tonight we had the great privilege to show seesmic in front of 1000 persons in a single room at DEMO Conference. We just presented a bunch of things that we ve been working on since several weeks, and I am still amazed about how Loic has such a self control when talking to that many people. I would have die on stage… Fortunately I m not the public guy, I m the one working in the basement making sure that everything is rock and rolling !
So today, for DEMO, we announced the Threading system, or at least the beginning of it, as we re gonna refine it over the next weeks/months. Basically we have an overlay on the thumbnails ( we did not know where to put it to be honest, and I remembered Phil Campbell overlay to display post time, so here goes the credits man.. ) Replies number are constantly updated and if you click on that overlay you re going to the timeline of the thread. We ve been talking about threading for weeks, even had some great audios conversations with PurpleCar and GoldieKatsue about it, which bring even more ideas! This is actually what I love about building seesmic, instant feedback, advices from the community, that rocks.
Among other things we now have a ‘replies’ tab (replacing the shows tab), that bring you directly to the message people recorded in response to your videos. We also have active conversation ( Loic has been killing me for months to have this kind of techmeme style widget… ) and last twitter update of the user in his profile. As people notived we also optimized the application so it s more usable, and that work will continue over the next weeks.
A big thanks to my team, I feel very blessed to work with those brilliant and involved people. Now it s time to get some sleep back!
Update: Dennis Howlett is already talking about the new features on his blog for zdnet
So here is the new timeline :
Oh and about the mobile… stay tuned, coming very soon to a phone near you
The CTO who sleeps sometimes…
After being made famous as the CTO who never sleep by Loic, one of our Londonian seesmic investigator caught me… Ugh! May be you ll recognize the guy next to me, who fell asleep far before me Credit to Lloyd Davis for the picture !
