Just imagine this comment thread for a moment as a series of videos you have to click on and listen to the author slowly waffle.

Scary isn't it.

Edit: Also, funny comment from their crunchbase profile: "The twitter killer as I have blogged few minutes ago. It has video, video is web2.0, it will kill twitter."

(Sorry for being slightly offtopic from the main points of matts post which seem to make a lot of sense)

I never watch any of these videos, honestly.

It's easy to read, understand and rebut text. Video is still very much a one way medium.

Quite scary; I'd never get anything done! Not quite as scary as Jesus Camp, but I digress...

All the Seesmic comments I have actually bothered to click on have been people reading from scripts or bumbling through a thought that ends with saying nothing. Cut out the middleman and just give me the script in a much more efficient form.

Yeah, text really is so much better for comments. I don't really care for Seesmic's product, as you probably guessed, for just that reason.
