And fucking Twitter is fucking down. Fuck! See also: Interview with Nicco Mele, the man behind the $1000 reward. Seesmic and Disqus sittin in a tree I like video comments, didn't think I would but I do. I think people are more responsible and throughtful when their words are backed by their voice and face. So when Daniel at Disqus and Loic at Seesmic asked if I would let them use Scripting News as one of the places they rolled out their new partnership I said Yes and I would be honored (I said it weeeth ze Franch agzent). I thought they were going to roll it out at 11AM Eastern, but I see Fred Wilson has already posted on it. We already have some video comments (Scoble was first, of course, followed by Steve Garfield) so here we go, a new era in conversational blogging. And congrats to the good folk at Disqus and Seesmic for making this a reality. PS: A disadvantage of video comments -- it's hard to hear them in a crowded terminal waiting for a plane to Boston. PPS: Why do people talk so quietly when they're leaving video comments? Sounds like they don't want to wake someone up. |
