Loïc has just told Seesmic users that a new user interface is up at http://api.seesmic.com/home. Just tried it out, and it is looking very nice. It is much lighter than the current interface (both visually and in terms of performance), and while it is not quite finished yet (Loïc said this himself in his post), I think it is a step in the right direction. The current interface is a little dark and heavy in my opinion, and until the SeesmicAir client (the link seems to be broken right now) gets recording capabilities, it’s the only way to be constantly interacting with the service – so it should be as light as possible.
If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, Seesmic is a new web app, like Twitter only for video, and trust me, it is really cool. You can see my little Seesmic widget on the sidebar to the right. It has caught my attention not only because it really is a cool service, but also by the way its founder Loïc Le Meur is running the business. The whole process has been extremely open and participative, in a way that I had not seen before. I am now as much a fan of the company as I am of the service it offers. It’s currently in closed beta, but you can get an invite relatively easily through InviteShare. Check it out!
