It sounds like Phreadz is putting something together which has been missing: a way to combine all of our input together. There are times when I just want to post a photo of where I am, and other times I’d like to post a mini-video (e.g. today I was in a park and the birds were singing gloriously, & I would have like to have shared that), and other times just text. I have heard of Kosso’s comments about Phreadz for some time now, and glad to see it all coming together!

Hey Kosso, how can i get invited/into Phreadz, it looks ace and im reading loads about it offering more than Seesmic, healthy competition and from the UK, well done,

I think the video conversation is going to be something people get or they just wont, but im sure it will provide more sense, fun and might get people thinking more about what they post.

Cheers, Scott

Seesmic particpated in the Indiana Jones movie launch?

I know some (non-seesmic) guys did some cool stuff in Cannes using seesmic recently but AFAIK seesmic themselves were naff all to with it.

good bit of battle –

after a bit of trouble getting seesmic working (firefox is worse, safari just about handles) and getting my head round the interface (seems a bit ropey), I’m looking fwd to giving phreadz a try. ’specially keen to support any UK output.

the big question is whether it’ll take the place of the Arrington-backed Seesmic as the vid response service for TC UK? will watch this space (or rather, the space just below \/ )

I can understand how some people might think that it is a Seesmic copy cat – they haven’t seen it first hand and they haven’t taken the time to fully read this post. Kosso has built a truly unique offering. I know of no other platform that allows users to integrate video, images, text, audio and links, via desktop or mobile, into an easy to navigate conversation thread. And having channels seals the deal. As a pre-alfalfa tester, I wish Kosso every success with Phreadz.

@Fat Man Collective Thanks!! )

@everyone! thanks! – or should I say: ‘PHANKS!’

@deek : thanks for that too. I’d love to post a video reply to you, but I wouldn’t want to get in to trouble (again!)

I have never seen Seesmic as a ‘competitor’ at all. In fact, Phreadz can crosspost *to* your seesmic account!

I’ve been trying to help expand and enhance multimedia for over a decade.

I actually have some ideas and proposals on how Phreadz could work together *with* systems like YouTube, Qik and Seesmic – and the other ’similar’ systems which will no doubt appear soon.

So often I see people forget the ‘multi’ in multimedia – and also what is increasingly ‘V.I.T.A.L’ (video, images, text, audio, links) to ALL of us

Cheers!
