While Evan Willams(Founder of Twitter.com) was Focus on Simplicity, saying Trashing Features to Create Value, and asking "What can you create by taking things away", Seesmic, a start-up by adding video conversation feature to twitter(like a video twitter), has just raised 6 million dollars from an impressive list of investors.

Seesmic got more dollars ($6M) than twitter ($5.4M) when it's only in pre-Alpha early stage.

Seesmic added new feature just like:
  1. Share video online - post YouTube URL, or recording/uploading
  2. Video conversation - Video reply to others' video
  3. Sync with users' social networks - Can be synced to Twitter.com, etc

Can we image chatting to friends in pre-recorded video messages? And we will got a video conversation including the every video reply.

I was always believing that multimedia message will be more and more important in our daily life, besides text message, we also share video/music with our friends. Thanks for the internet technology, it's easy and fast today. That's the reason why I built YouKu.com for Chinese video sharing users in 2006.
