Passing Like Pixelated Pirate Ships in the Night.

This video brings back some very fond memories. When Seesmic used to be way more than just a twitter client. What feels like eons ago.. for a brief period in a digital time and space, Seesmic brought together a particular mix of individuals.. a certain kind of community that I have yet to find anywhere [...]

A Chat With Vinvin On Videoblogging

I met up with Cyrille De Lasteyrye aka @VinVin at the New Media Expo in Las Vegas. We had an impromptu chat about Seesmic, video blogging and social media, captured on camera by Matt Rawlinson aka @barnstormed from the Open University in the UK. There is much more New Media Expo content on the Phreadz [...]

PICNIC'08 – A meeting of creative minds.

“From 24 to 26 September 2008, thousands of creative minds from all over the world will come together in Amsterdam for the third PICNIC. …” So how does one particular creative mind get to this kind of event on a budget? It looks huge, expensive dripping with free bars and full colour laser projection backdrops. [...]

Less is more: The 12 second blog killer

I am finding it easier and easier to just click record and speak my thoughts into some form or video blogging application. It all began with Seesmic and now in addition (especially when wanting to cross post and use multimedia) I also use Phreadz. For live streaming (in my opinion), there is still only Qik. [...]

Phreadz and the New Media Expo

I was having a quiet night in on the net, flitting from one platform to another, posting a video here and a tweet there. The chatter in the networks was all about the upcoming New Media Expo in Las Vegas. Having missed out on the Boston Podcamp while on a photo assignment I felt a [...]

The second half was recorded on the flight back to London. We talk about hacking, podcamp uk, Seesmic, Qik, Blip TV, Pulver TV, social [...]

Ali Bongo And The Three Purple Hearts

I am writing this aboard an aircraft thirty odd thousand feet above the atlantic, halfway to New York on a ticket bought for me by Seesmic.com After podcasting for over two years and blogging for nearly 6, it looks like the subject of money is creeping into more and more of my online conversations. And [...]

Electric Empathy.

Attempting to stay offline. I say attempt as as yet I am not able to succeed in any major fashion. I have come away on holiday with family to Canada and really want to do my best for those who do not understand (or care much for) social networking and it’s incessant need to be [...]

Crash!

Whilst i wait for a lift to the hospital.. Here is a record of what happened today.. [UPDATE] I have been asked to retell the story many times since it happened and one of the more intimate places where I shared it was at The Fray Cafe during the South by South West Festival in [...]
