I’ll make this short and sweet… the Seesmic team seems to TOTALLY get it. Highly visualized interface is the next step in the consumer media landscape, and Seesmic Look is a gorgeous introduction between the real-time web and the closet webofile locked away in the average consumer. Not for the social media guru, it’s functional…much more functional than the Twitter apps designed for Boxee, however doesn’t have the speedy knickknacks strewn about Tweetdeck.
Another kudos for first developing it for the Windows 7 crowd, which will likely consist of people upgrading from Windows XP and taking their first step into the live web experience. The whole development model looks very well thought-out.
The one fundamentally frightening issue is that apps such as Seesmic could mean that our PC-comforted parents might finally sign up for Twitter accounts. Following @jennajameson and hastags like #howwastedwasilastnight could become a relic of a freer, more frivolous era of social networking. Remember what your MySpace account looked like? Sigh.
