Ok, so it's been a few days since I sent out my bunch of invite codes to Seesmic and not a single person has gotten on yet to give it a try. Maybe because it's a bit hard to understand since it's still in its "pre-Alpha" testing stage. I've been on 3 days and while they are still in the process of building out more functionalities for it, it's very obvious that this is going to probably replace a lot of the ways we communicate once people get the hang of it and give it a try. KEY WORDS = Give It A Try.
So I came up with an idea and got the help of the community to show you all an example of what Seesmic is. (Founder Loic Le Meur actually asked this question yesterday and I look forward to the Seesmix they'll be making of it) ...but in the meantime, to me Seesmic's a platform for having conversations with people around the world -- either (almost) realtime or when convenient. A cross between Twitter and Youtube I've heard.
To show you guys how a typical conversation evolves I asked the community the following question:
...and within minutes I received some really interesting "right off the top of my head and into the Seesmic stream" replies. Here are some I'd like to share with you:
...there are so many great responses...look out for another round later on tonight...while you're at it, drop me a line if you're interested in joining the conversation.

Facebook is how I still stay in touch with quite a few of my friends. If you're on there, feel free to add me and also join The China Business Network's group on there.
If the gap in business culture and landscape between China and the West were a physical bridge, it might be immeasurably long, spanning two vast and vastly different terrains. It takes more than any one person to bridge the gap, or act as a guide on both shores. It takes a Network. Learn more.
