There’s some good news from the web video conversational service Seesmic that has really gained traction in the recent months among social media users. The news today is that Seesmic is officially mobile now.
Seesmic has had a mobile client for Windows Mobile devices for a while now: it was built by an independent developer and launched in the end of September. Of course the client has received some promotional help from Seesmic itself and the results are impressive as it [...]

I think there are a lot of people who still point at the divide between someone's "social" life — that being the life they possess as a member of internet-based communities and networks — and "real" social life, saying the void can't be crossed.  While we might not be at the point where our two social lives overlap seamlessly, there is still a lot of value in developing tools for understanding and enhancing our social life in the physical world.

You have the most successful touchscreen handset on the market, your brand image could sell contacts to the blind, and guess what?  You are largely responsible for a roadblock in the advancement of mobile social networking.  What I'm referring to is the fact that new iPhone applications are not allowed to run continuously as a background processes. 
Of course, I doubt Apple or its head man Steve Jobs directly intend to inhibit the advancement of mobile social media by [...]

Yesterday was probably one of the most surreal days I've had in almost 15 years online, by far. I'd been talking to Louis Gray about doing some guest posting on his blog, and had a cute little story that I didn't feel fit in anywhere else, so I wrote it up for his blog as my first guest appearance. It was a cute little story about how I used Seesmic to get my toddler to bed the night before, [...]

As many of you know, I covered Cre8Buzz a while back here on the site when it was just starting out. I tend to think of Cre8Buzz as the little social content network that could. I have a unique behind the scenes perspective of the company, and the people behind it work hard for its success.
That said, in spite of all their hard work, those of us who are on Cre8Buzz as users or on the board have watched [...]

Twhirl, one of the more popular Twitter clients available to both Windows and Mac OS X users, just received a crucial tune-up. It would almost seem that the Twhirl team released this latest update to lend a hand to the struggling Twitter group; many Twitter users have been frustrated by recent cut-backs at Twitter to keep the service up and running, which came in the form of reduced API limit restrictions.
Though Twhirl users have been [...]

In case you are living in a cave this weekend, I'll tell you the "big new" in Web 2.0: Seesmic managed the coup of getting Steve Spielberg, George Lucas, and a good portion of the cast of the upcoming Indiana Jones movie to set up channels and respond to questions posed by The Guardian's Jemima Kiss. The one person you'd expect to be crowing about it would be Seesmic friend/investor/cheerleader Mike Arrington, but he's pretty ticked off about the whole [...]

At the risk of making enemies, I'm one of the only people I've seen so far today not jumping up and down with excitement at Seesmic's purchase of Twhirl. I like the idea of Seesmic, even if I'm a videophobe myself. And I love Twhirl, and use it every second that I'm online.
Here's my issue with all these exciting mergers and buyouts and why I can't hop up and down: you have a start-up that doesn't sell anything buying another [...]
