Loic LeMeur’s ‘CNN of my friends’
p2pnet news | P2P:- With $6 million in his pocket and the likes of Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, and Ron Conway, one of the original investors in Google, backing him, Seesmic founder Loic LeMeur is still in Alpha mode. But he’s likely to eventually cause a seismic event online with video blogging, at the same time presenting competition for Google’s YouTube.
"Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco," he posts.
"I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software."
Then he links to a TechCrunch item from last year which says, in part:
"The service can be described as a video based Twitter, although it is also much more than that. The grand vision behind Seesmic is for it to become a very open online video/television service where people are constantly interacting around both user generated and professional content."
LeMeur goes on, "I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.
"I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.
"If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle."
On the site, Seesmic is, "the CNN of my friends". And, where "Youtube is about posting videos," Seesmic is, "about the people in the videos".
