Whit and Loic

Seesmic du jour (Seesmic of the day if you will) is now organized into a playlist on Youtube. You can find all of the episodes in one place at loic.tv, hizzah! For those of you who don’t know, Seesmic du jour was a show that world famous French entrepreneur and CEO of Seesmic.com Loic Le Meur and I created. The idea of the show was to present an inside look of a start-up being built from the ground up. We shot the show for 170 consecutive work days showing Seesmic from the inside out, giving incites on the tech world and Silicon Valley, and introducing the audience to interesting people from the industry.

Watching the show now would certainly make one think that Seesmic is a much different company then it is today. We have gone through many changes in the last 2 and half years, starting as a video communications platform and eventually transitioning into a communications platform currently harnessing Twitter and Facebook technologies. But the core value of the show still exists. It’s obvious from Seesmic du Jour (the fact that there even was a show) that the company has taken many risks in the past few years, I just think that the risk of the show was one that payed off.

If you ever watched the Seesmic du Jour I’d love to hear what some of your favorite episodes were. If you’ve seen every episode I apologize for the bad ones, and thank you for your engagement.

    I liked the shows where you hosted. :)

    I also remember the one where Loic tossed the new iphone over his shoulder.

    I remember taking that photo… does that count? :)

    Its not so much the individual moments on that show, or even the cool times we all used to have when Seesmic was a video platform only that I think about. It’s more that we used to have a community that generated content I cared about.

    Ah, the good old days…

    You’re making me so nostalgic Whit! I did suffer through every one of those episodes…. God I miss those days. I say you go on strike until Loïc brings them back. :)
