@vinvin from Seesmic.com and @documentally from ourmaninside.com talking about video conversations in the web 2.0 world while at the New Media Expo.

Update from Vegas

Gary V this morning said do one shoot and don’t edit. Apparently it is suppose to capture the authenticity of the poster. Well… this video I would have re-shot or edited because I ramble. In the spirt of Gary V… I leave it for you to digest.

Headed to Vegas! Stay Tuned

Second Life

More and more people I know are organizing nonprofits and political actions within Second Life. I once was turned off by this world… but I am beginning to see the real organizing ability around this. Have you been on Second Life?

A Transparent Web 2.0 CEO?

That is Loic Le Meur for you. It is a fresh breath of air. He has built his community on Seesmic out of transparency and continues to do so to this day.

Just last night (late) he utilized the social networks (specifically Twitter, FriendFeed, and Seesmic itself) by asking, “What would you do if you were the CEO of Seesmic?”

Now, any CEO could put this out there with no real commitment to listen to the responses as an effort to feed the masses, generate dialogue and good PR on the social networks. But this guy actually transcribed nearly every initial response! Impressive. Even when I weighed in via Seesmic video while in bed… he responded by moving to his bed and doing a video from there. Then went back to the desk to begin transcribing all the feedback. A CEO that is actually listening to his social networks? Impressive and an authentic strategy for success.

Here is last nights recap via his blog. Ignore the bed video post I did, and would suggest you just read his transcript ;)

He has also posted the history of Seesmic and his work at the startup. It is a good inspiration for those like myself diving into the technology world with a startup idea. Take a peek here.

I can honestly say Loic is a good mentor for us trying this out for the first time. I continue to utilize his transparency as a role model in my startup.

I made Epic Fu. Is that a good thing?

Here is the video of the Epic Fu episode.

Review of TokBox

Ok… this is my last review of the weekend before I go offline and enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend.

The review was on TokBox.com (pronounced Talk Box.)

I wanted to review this site using the site technology itself only to find out post recording that there is no embed code. Niiice.

Also, the software locked up several times and decided to record it as skipped footage. All very true of the system.

So… since there is no embed code, please see the original review here: http://www.tokbox.com/vm/ljsndarov84u
