louisgray.com: louisgray.com: Late-Night Seesmic Desperation Yields Results

  • Marcin_Grodzicki · 1 year ago
    Amazing :) If you know a bit about body language you can tell the difference between her emotional state on first and second video. That means Cindy you got a real solution to the 'problem' by simply posting it on Seesmic (which I considered complete rubbish until now - no offense Loic, I just changed my mind). The really interesting part is in the comments though - it seems like youngsters are adopting this technology a lot better than 'normal'=adult geeks. Which may be an important factor to consider for you Loic - maybe your target group is 'a little younger' than you expected :)

    What an excellent story! My kids look at my flatscreen monitor as a literal window and the iChat sessions let them "open" the window to chat to their grandparents in Japan. In deference to Senator Ted Stevens, what connects the windows is a "long pipe"

    Ian, isn't it amazing? When I was the age of my second-oldest, I can remember a long-distance phone call during the holidays was an EVENT! NO ONE could talk because "Uncle Eddie from New Jersey" was on the phone. These kids think nothing of global and instantaneous communications through every possible medium.

    lol that is too cute. Well that's something new to add to the list of things that social media can be great for - putting toddlers to bed.

    thanks Cindy your post really makes my day. Wait until we have groups in about 2 weeks, she will be able to have her own group!
  • CyndyA · 1 year ago
    Loic, that is the LAST thing she needs!! She runs in and out asking me if she has replies on "my Seesmic??"

  • CyndyA · 1 year ago
    Allen, go look through the rest of her videos until you find the one of her rolling on my bed yelling "Seesmic! Seesmic! Seesmic" alternating with "Lo-wee, Lo-wee, Lo-wee!"

    seriously - stop now :)

    if i send the kid a cn sticker will he wear it in the videos

    He? You didn't catch all the references to Cyndy's cute daughter being a she or see her smile in the video? If you can't give it enough time to determine gender, then I don't think Cyndy's child should be endorsing your product. And one more note of mockery out of you, and I'll have Matthew key your car.

    uhm matthew is doing just fine here thanks - he's going to start a digg club with his play group and stuff - so you leave him alone!

    LOL! My kids love seesmic, they have from its inception. All the early adopters from last year on seesmic have heard all about Webkinz, have seen my 2 year old raspberry (i.e. spit) all over my laptop, etc. We also dance. A lot. They like to view the entire video before I post it, and they wait, like hungry lions, for replies. Now my 8 year old is using it to occasionally DM other 8 year olds around the world.

    These video comprehension skills are vital to their success in the coming decades. Bidee-yo on, man. Technology is a language they need to acquire when they are young, when it is effortless.

    What a cute kid! She's destined for Internet stardom for sure! Thanks for sharing your story.

    A heartwarming story! I've written a post about it here: http://14sandwiches.com/2008/07/08/bidee-yo-kil...
  • CyndyA · 1 year ago
    Thanks Martin! She wants to do a video reply but I'm SUPPOSED to be working. Well, that and coloring my hair red, so we'll get there eventually. ;)

    Allen, we just figured since everyone thinks Louis is everyone else, we'd just cut to the chase. ;)
