The next update of the Twitter/ FriendFeed/ Seesmic AIR application Twhirl will include support for Identi.ca, according to a scoop by Rafe Needleman at WebWare.
The even more interesting thing about the implementation: Twhirl supports push updates from Identi.ca, negating the need for regular refreshing (although the client can refresh as well). However Rafe notes that […]

The Seesmic enabled “private” version of Twhirl has been updated, adding additional features, but sadly, no Seesmic recording yet.
Twhirl 0.8.3a adds support for the “active conversations” panel to show the same conversations as available on seesmic.com. The timeline now includes real-time updates of the public timeline, and the options dialog allows […]

Video microblogging service Hictu has upgraded its offering, at the same time entering the emerging blog video commenting space. Hictu, for those not aware of the service, was the very first video microblogging service, although it tends to be overlooked for Seesmic these days.
The upgrade to Hictu delivers a diversity of microblogging tools that pushes […]

Seesmic CEO Loic Lemeur has announced that FriendFeed users can now respond to videos within FriendFeed. Although the new feature isn’t inline as such (within the FriendFeed thread) as is now possible through many blogs (including this one), it’s a welcome feature.
Seesmic videos in FriendFeed are the same as the […]

2.0 commenting service Disqus has updated their API WordPress plugin, adding support for Seesmic commenting.
The API version of the plugin, unlike the more commonly used Javascript version, renders text on a blog so that it can be seen by search engines, one of the main selling points for those who like the idea of using […]

One of my biggest gripes with Seesmic from very early on was its complete inability to capture video over slower connections. Until February I was stuck on a 2mb cable connection which only pumped through about 250-300k on uploads, which coupled with my then geographically isolated location (country Western Australia) made Seesmic unusable for me, […]

Viddyou is the third main player in the video microblogging space, alongside Seesmic and Phreadz. Given that I’ve covered the rest, I was told I should take a look at Viddyou, and the result is above.
The key points: clean interface, support for HD on a premium account, community video groupings, lots of pink. What I […]

Utterz, best known as an audio messaging platform has been thrust back on the microblogging radar today with news that the site now supports Twitter like direct messaging features.
Kristen Nicole at Mashable headlines the changes as “New Utterz Features to take on Twitter?” and notes new features such as “Utterz messages directly to friends using […]

Widgets are cool, personalized widgets are better. Last week I did a screencast on how to build a widget for your blog in Sprout Builder. For this post I set up a Seesmic widget, complete with customized background, layout, support for threads, and even built in recording so your users can respond to your videos […]

The video above explains why this post from Erick at TechCrunch is wrong: Seesmic’s new inline reply and inline threaded comment system is brilliant. I only wish I was an investor in Seesmic…and oddly enough Erick’s boss MA is. Still, always good to see that despite the conflict of interest that opposite views are tolerated, […]

Loic Lemeur has announced that Seesmic now supports threaded comments within Seesmic embeds, delivering the entire conversation where ever the embed is shown.
The even cooler part: users can sign in and reply from within the embedded player as well, possibly a first from any company in the online video space.
I’ve been on the record as […]

Seesmic CEO Loic Lemeur has announced that Seesmic is now available in a beta version of Twhirl (download here). Loic is quick to point out in the video above that this is a trial and the new version may have bugs.
Having downloaded it my initial thoughts: this liberates Seesmic. I’ve never been a huge […]
