Seesmic and iVideoSongs at DEMO

Seesmic makes it easy to post your video to the web. You can use the camera and microphone built into your laptop to shoot the video. Press the submit button, and within seconds your video is published on your web site, Twitter, or your blog. The videos are searchable, and you can follow the video postings of your friends. These are very short videos that are fun, informative, whacky, and interesting.

Seesmic - the Twitter of video? The videos are a lot like Twitter or video chat in that people use video to communicate with each other. The videos almost become a running conversation. Short, quick bursts that are funny and sometimes informative.

Can UGC video be interesting? Halley Suitt showed me several of her videos on a whole range of topics. Halley is incredibly talented, inquisitive, and funny, so I would watch any video from her. Loic Le Meur, founder of Seesmic, is also an incredibly entertaining guy, and produces great video too. After watching their videos I was hooked. But, will the public at large produce compelling video? I don't know, but I am going to keep an eye on it. I have signed up for the private beta and look forward to trying it.

iVideoSongs - Learn to play your favorite songs from the original artists who wrote them, performed them, and produced them. iVideoSongs makes deals with major artists like Graham Nash, Daryl Hall, John Oats, and hundreds of others.  John Oats performed on stage and showed how he put together the song "She's Gone". They take you through the chords, how you create the sounds, and how you pull in all the other instruments. Cool!
