Seesmic
(note that Michael Arrington is an investor) CEO Loic Le Meur asked readers what they would do if they were the CEO of the company to encourage daily use by users. Responses flooded in via Seesmic videos, blog comments, Twitter and Friendfeed, and ranged from derisive quips to multi-paragraph business plans. But for the most part they were surprisingly informative.
We have gone through and categorized the comments into broader buckets to get a better understanding of what users want out of Seesmic. The results are graphed in the image above and discussed below, but what’s more interesting is simply using this approach to make sense of all the feedback. Some of the suggestions are quite good near the head, and the community always likes to know they’re being listened to.
Far and away the most popular suggestion involved mobile integration. Users want video functionality on their mobile devices, whether it be web-based or in the form of a Seesmic app. This comes as no surprise with the release of the iPhone and the dozens of new apps, but the potential of mobile video could be revolutionary. Live video chat on your mobile phone, for instance, could revolutionize the way we communicate.
