Seesmic logo on videos and video comments on blogs
Greetings, Seesmic folks! I post VODcasts frequently on FAQautism.com. I record them on Seesmic and post on the public timeline so the Seesmic community can join the conversation. Then I embed them into FAQautism.com using Word Press. The process if very simple and works smoothly.
These ideas come to mind:
1. I'm surprised the Seesmic logo doesn't show up on the initial VODcast post on my blog. It would certainly be good marketing to add a small raccoon and the word "Seesmic.'
2. "Seesmic" shows up on the replies (comments), but no raccoon. Seems to me that it would be good to "teach" the public the meaning of that visual logo.

I’m glad Seesmic wants input

Inappropriate?Greetings, Folks. THANKS for adding the Seesmic logo and raccoon. I realize you didn't need my message to know that needed to happen = just wanted to add a vote to the request. The VODcast I embedded on FAQautism.com today had lots of logos and other goodies. Some suggestions from my humble perspective:
1. Many folks with whom I communicate have modest computers, modest internet connections, and modest technical knowledge. Therefore, SIMPLICITY is the key.
2. It seems to me that the two buttons in the middle of the screen just add clutter and confuse the user.
3.I would recommend keeping the reply button in the upper left and delete the second reply button in the middle of the screen.
4. If a person wants to play the video again, they just click on the play arrow in the bar below the video screen, right? The "Play again" arrow in the middle of the screen just adds to the clutter and confuses the user.
Hmmmm....I seem to be repeating myself :-)
5. I don't know why there is a "Menu" button. I clicked on it and had NO CLUE what the message meant. Again - clutter and confusion.
6. Now the raccoon appears twice and the word "Seesmic" appears twice. It seems to me that the best way to avoid clutter and confusion is to keep the "less is more" philosophy in mind. (Personally, I like the raccoon in the upper left hand corner by the title and the Seesmic in the bottom right corner of the actual video. But I can also see value in other arrangements.)
7. Just for my own blog, the cool pictures of folks in the comment stream is unnecessary since users can see the conversation unfold when they click on "comments." Maybe I feel this way since I anticipate more folks will send text comments than will be brave enough to send a Seesmic video reply.
Okey dokey. I'll quit bugging you folks.
I’m full of opinions and ideas
