That tee shirt pictured above is my daughter’s favorite piece of schwag from BlogHer 08. Thank you, Cathy Brooks of Seesmic, who graciously bestowed it upon us before she spoke at a BlogHer session about videography.
We’ve been watching that little raccoon for many months now and were hoping that someday we could have a sticker or a laptop cover or just anything with that little raccoon on it. My son likes him, too. He likes the way his ears reach beyond the circle and his right eye is larger than the other, so he looks as if he’s popping through a hole to come closer and peer at you. And now we have him – on a t-shirt!! Woohoo!
Haven’t heard of Seesmic yet?
Oh, you have to go and give it a try! It’s a bit like Twitter with video but not nearly as fast. It’s a site where you can record (or upload) video and publish it, then have people respond to whatever you’ve posted. You can ask questions, start debates, host a show, whatever strikes your fancy. One member of Seesmic, Frieda Wolden, has posted thousands and thousands of videos, all of which she’s recorded while wearing a hat. Very nice woman. She makes me laugh.
Take just a moment or two and check out Seesmic. At the very least, watch the video (click here) that the Seesmic folks produced as the introduction to their site (on the landing page). It’s a hoot. Or, if you want to see that little raccoon in action, look at the intro to any of the Seismic du Jour shows (with Loic Le Meur, founder of Seesmic). In this episode, Loic and Freddy Mini of Netvibes tell you about a new Seesmic widget on Netvibes (that you can also put on your own blog).
If you don’t want to leave my site, you can just watch the video below to find out about how Facebook Connect will integrate Seesmic into Facebook:

For me? It’s all about the raccoon…
Wow, that’s a cool shirt. Oh and the service is cool too. I haven’t had a chance to check it out, but I did just watch the video you linked to. Amazing stuff. So, when do we get more info on BlogHer?
petes last blog post..Like Waves Crashing on the Beach…or Not
I didn’t get one!
I like the raccoon too.
Marias last blog post..Tenderhearted.
I don’t think I need another computer addiction, but with the things I see around LA it would be classic to upload them. I’m going to check it out.
@pete:
Er, uh, well…I’m reluctant to post about it. I keep putting it off.
But back to Seesmic…
Yes, the shirt is great! My daughter loves it.
And Seesmic has great potential. I’d check it out if you haven’t already.
@Maria:
Rats! Sorry about missing the shirts. I think that was the day you went shopping or something…
But yeah, isn’t it a great raccoon? Whoever designed it did a fantastic job.
@insne:
Great! I’d love to hear your thoughts after you check it out.
