I can see how this will end. They will get bought by a public company originally funded by the same VCs and seesmic will slowly fade away and die.

I pity the VCs shoveling money into this steaming pile. Arrington as an angel investor is the touch of death.

Congrats on the funding!

I want to reflect a bit on this company. so lets be realistic. I think this product is way over hyped. the mass consumer market would first of all not embrace the idea of video conversations due to the fact that they’re lazy and don’t want to contribute. Secondly, like xavierv said, most people are not ready to show themselves on camera and to the entire world. Thirdly, the idea itself is obscure. it was a little difficult for me to grasp it the first time and I’m a geek! How about the average person who doesn’t know much about tech and web 2.0 … how will seesmic explain the idea to them? right now they’re doing an awful job. Lastly, seesmic is going against some major companies like youtube and facebook/myspace. that’s right I said it! video = youtube and conversation/socializing = facebook/myspace in the minds of consumers. seesmic’s spin on video+conversations is not powerful enough to tackle their competition.

unless I’m missing something or not understanding about the company, I think this another TC hyped up company that won’t go anywhere. but if I am missing something, I do apologize and I would appreciate if someone explains to all of us the value prop behind seesmic.

Great article, seesmic looks extremely promising!

PS- I noticed the logo in the top left corner of the article said, “Join video the converstion”

Typo?

Michelle: yeah, but it was video spam on a comment thread about Seesmic video comments. So, was it really spam at all? Hmmm.

..this seems like a pretty high burn-rate given the incremental improvements since their series A. to quote 2000 era hype, ’someone put some more lipstick on ths p*g’ or deadpool within the year…

congrats – BUT: Loic: what is this seesmic all about – I cant’t see any valuable use for the mass consumer market – so I think it is another hype project!

I should get at least some of that $6 million, seeing that a conservative average of 400 daily seesmic videos made at my site amount to 16% of seesmic’s total daily videos.

Well, anyway, thank you seesmic and congratulations on the funding.

Is this amount of money raised in order to finance the numerous travel expenses of Loic ?
It seems he is everywhere except in its company….
