Let us know when you get to the "fame" chapter. I bet it's a major component. - Cyndy
Philip is a great and very knowledgeable man in social psychology - the book is a fantastic read too. Enjoy, Loic :-) - Matt Harwood
quite fast, you get into too many details I think, I would have loved to read one chapter maybe two on the prisoners there, but not that much content. I will see how the rest of the book is. Loved Zimbardo as speaker - Loic Le Meur via twhirl
that sounds nice, loic! so are these videos on seesmic public timeline, too? or are they just personal and private? if they are public, how do you avoid spam? - Timo Heuer
Timo: they are on the public timeline over at Seesmic too. - Robert Scoble
Timo: the videos go to Seesmic in your friend timeline if you follow me but not in the public timeline yet, we want to add a related url first - Loic Le Meur via twhirl
nice work Loic. You guys are on a tear. I say you have some twitter contests and give away the shirts or sticker... - Rodney Rumford
loic: thanks (for the link and the information) - Timo Heuer
@Scobleizer... Hmm wondering how much that new shiny seesmic tShirt from Loic's cadre inspired your use of seesmic today? ;-) - Susan Beebe
A little. But more about Loic's being on Gillmor Gang on Friday. His "World Wide Talk Show" idea has me really thinking. - Robert Scoble
yea the "world wide" concept was pretty novel and broad communications impact of seesmic video chat excites me quite a bit!! The Gillmor Gang show with Loic, You and Steve was one of the best I've seen in a while...very fun! I can't wait till Loic integrates Seesmic with Twhirl... I think we'll see faster adoption of seesmic then. Your use of it will be powerful for getting the word out. :-) - Susan Beebe
Robert by the way, you can also syndicate these seesmic videos on your blog using the little logo on the bottom right of the video player, it will give you the code. - Loic Le Meur
I don't get why this feature is getting so much hype. I already use Tumblr to do the same thing which is ported into FF and it doesen't have Scoble's isssue at all. - Jeff
Jeff, we're just bored about talking about MSFT and YHOO, that's all. - Robert Scoble
Seesmic looks cool. I need an invite to try it. - David Risley via twhirl
@DavidRisley follow @getSeesmic to get your seesmic invite or go to techcrunch to get one. - Susan Beebe
Hey, they finally fixed the subscription selection panel for safari. Now the arrows work. I'm even more anal than Scoble. :) - Jay Cruz
they badly need a social network. and friendfeed commenting. one problem google reader has is that i use it under a separate gmail account than my regular google apps for your domain account, and it doesn't recognize i've got split identities. - Ranjit Mathoda
Robert, glad to see you back in Seesmic! wew, when do you put the video comments on too? - Loic Le Meur
Keyboard shortcut missing is a major concern - Mo Jawhari
it feels like a solution looking for a problem. I can't come up with a reason to use it, - Sean Reiser
I have to wonder about the point to this. Sort of goes against the meaning of facebook no? Twitter is about building a conversation and learning (if you are lucky)- more the merrier. But facebook is about connecting to the lives of 'real' friends, family and perhaps a select few others who you would truly like to befriend. I have to wonder about the point of just building up a cloud and thus noise anywhere and everywhere just because you can - while entirely ignoring that particular site's ethos. 224 people you could talk to but almost definitely won't. - Kamath via twhirl
Loic, come on -- you're all about promoting Seesmic -- it's part of your JOB (totally understandable). So you want to have 5000 (or 5 million!) "friends" you can broadcast and promote to. Yours is not an atypical use case among Web 2.0 start-up founders and I don't have any objection to you and others using these as tools of promotion -- but if everyone who used these services was similarly motivated, they would die pretty quickly, I think. - Robert Seidman
Robert if you really think everything I do online is to promote Seesmic only you should really not bother commenting here. - Loic Le Meur
Loic, just saw this (long weekend here in Thailand). Great reply. Thanks for that. However, note that I specifically talked about adding and following 1000s of friends on facebook. I totally get and understand doing that on friendfeed, twitter etc - they are modeled to work with that kind of large network - as I pointed out in my first comment. Facebook isn't - which is why probably the discussions you say are lacking are not happening on facebook. - Kamath
[Edit]...contd: Is Facebook meant for Friendfeed style conversations? No. It is for connecting with and following friends.Friendfeed/twitter - build conversations with like minded individuals - not neccessarily friends. Facebook - connect with existing and some new friends who you really find interesting and track. I found very little on facebook that is about building conversations. I would have preferred replying via video with my handsome mug on show:)but am replying on a friend's old mac without a cam. - Kamath
Forgive me a 3rd comment. Loic u say "-you will never talk to them. This is so wrong. I talk to hundreds of friends all day long. I post on Twitter, Friendfeed, Seesmic..." Loic, I never said u will never talk to them on twitter, friendfeed - it is specifically about chatting on facebook. why? see earlier 2 long-winded comments. - Kamath
Karnath - People use Facebook in different ways. (1) Real Friends (2) Internet Penpals (3) Getting "popular" (4) Business Spam (5) Semi-website like "storefront" or "personality front" (e.g. no phone number) (6) Marketing (no e-mail or phone number) - A beauty of the Facebook format is that it doesn't force you into any one mode. LinkedIn has similar diversity (1) True work recommendations (2) Real work or personal connections (3) Plaxo-like rolodex (4) Business Networking (5) SPAM - Mitchell Tsai
Loic, I do not believe your love of these services is only because of Seesmic. On the other hand, if you did not have anything to promote (Seesmic, your conference, etc) would you really have 5000 Facebook friends? I *like* that you, Scoble, Calacanis, etc are out there, but you're the exceptions, not the rules when it comes to these services. - Robert Seidman
thanks Robert. No I am not all about marketing, I actually really like these people too. I launched my conference because I wanted to meet them. I had the idea of Seesmic because I wanted to know them better even if we do not meet in person because we can't and video allows this. Now yes, it is also a great way to market a conference and a social software, but in this case they were born from that community. - Loic Le Meur
I haven't really seen much Seesmic activity from those I'm following, this was a welcome surprise! - Shawn Farner via twhirl
Wow, this kid's onto something. Impressive initiative! - jjprojects via twhirl
If you like the idea of young entrepreneurs, check out CollegeMogul.com - Miles Lennon
I got myself in the Seesmic conversation. I think it's a great idea and I'd love to be involved in any way possible as a Teen in Tech myself. - Sean Quinn via twhirl
Thanks, our first movers! Yusuf and Loic Le Meur! This will be a FF classic ; ) - Erhan Erdogan
do you want comment :) if you want i can develop a robot (comment spammer) for you. the 1.000.000 comment idea better than yours -to me- :) ahaa (just joke) - Yusuf İBİLİ
Just smiley! Smileys make a flawless effect for FF posts. Friends-Friends-Friends-etc.... ; ) - Erhan Erdogan
Are you testing something on FF or really bet someone? Who's this? - Yusuf İBİLİ via Alert Thingy
This is a game! FF's elites against FB's generation :p - Erhan Erdogan
hmmm! the writer smile :) at the end of story. say "good luck" and smile :) again. - Yusuf İBİLİ via Alert Thingy
"thanks Scott, I would love to try that, can you send one to loic at seesmic dot com ?" - Loic Le Meur
This type of thing would be a problem for me. I already find it hard to balance my time between working on my company and following industry news, which I think is def important to keep up with. I'd be interested to know how you and others divide their time. - Dan Delphin via twhirl
Sorry to hear about your accident :( but glad that you walked away with not much more than whiplash. Hope that drunk driver that hit you got caught? Take care and get well soon! - Neelie
he got caught and broke my car too.... thanks Neelie - Loic Le Meur
I spent kindergarden in one of those. that really sucks. I recommend those heat sticky things. that collar could become your new trademark - Noah David Simon via twhirl
Unlucky about the accident and hope you make a fast recovery! - Joe
Sorry to hear that Loic, thank goodness you're still here! Feel better soon. - Sally Church
You are so lucky it isn't worse! I had an accident just like that last year in San Francisco. The other driver was a woman. - Francine Hardaway
It's weird that it was such a delayed reaction. Hope it feels better soon. I really had fun hanging out with you this week at the EconSM conference. - Robert Scoble
omg! very sorry to hear that. I'm glad he was caught though.. that's one minor relief. Neck braces are not fun. Hope that's over soon. - Jennifer Stavros
I hope you are able to rest and recover quickly. - hisherness
yes we are worried went through back spasm in March and was down for five days, hopefully your isnot as bad - Fred Grott
There is an epidemic of us getting struck with one thing or another. We need group medical insurance for social media people alone! Take care of yourself, Loic - Susan Reynolds via Alert Thingy
thanks, all fine myneck is blocked just from muscles reaction to my car being hit by that drunk driver. All ok now (almost!) - Loic Le Meur
Sort of. It seems to sometimes load pages, and sometimes not load them. - Ontario Emperor
I knew that Twitter's abandoning Ruby On Rails, but it might be a good idea to move to something else first. ;) - Dana Franks via Alert Thingy
This is what I get for dissing twitter most of the day. But at least w/alertthingy responses are possible. . . I think - Susan Reynolds via Alert Thingy
So everybody is back on Friendfeed... - Loic Le Meur
