Seesmic = strangely addictive
It’s early days, quirks to be ironed out, lessons to be learned. But the thing is addictive for no clear reason. Oh, and fun. More fun than Twitter. Which, btw, is used all around the world, not just in CA. Time will tell of course, as with all things.

John: We’ve mentioned Seesmic before. I think having had it around for a while helps give some initial perspective. It’s easy to forget that this company is only four months old.

To some of the other comments: Seesmic is interesting to compare to Twitter because they both seem to appeal to a somewhat similar crowd. To be honest, that crowd doesn’t include me, or a lot of other people. That’s not the point, though, and to be honest again, having a personal, burning hatred for a particular site and spewing reactionary comments anytime its name is mentioned is worthless. The point is, the sites do seem to appeal to some people, perhaps even enough people to make for a real business. In my view, it’s not proven, and cannot yet be proven, whether there is a large enough userbase in the future.

If you’re against Seesmic, though, Twitter is becoming a bad example to use. The commenter “415=Lame” says, “Most people outside of the 415 and 650 really don’t care.” True, but there is a small but growing number that is using Twitter outside the Bay Area. Again, it’s not a proven business, by a stretch. But Twitter, at least, looks a lot less ridiculous now than when it launched. And the echo chamber works for everyone — if Joe Farmer in Illinois doesn’t hear one side of the Bay Area praising a new site, he also doesn’t hear the other side screaming bloody murder every time its name comes up, and doesn’t care. If there’s some use for it, he’ll use it, or listen to someone besides a blog (or blog commenter).

Have you ever watched Seesmic “conversations”. Very very very boring! It is the same set of 40-50 people generating boring video “conversations” .

Bloggers simply are hyping (and even spamming) Seesmic for their self promotions.
