Anton’s Hat

I just got my new seesmic account  (Thanks Halley) and I have to say it’s some pretty cool shit. This is famed French blogger Loic Le Meur’s new video blogging/podcast/twitter affair.  I love it but haven’t put anything up yet because my Webcam is all broked up.

This does have huge implications for Bench’d  and all sports content websites and I’ll be reviewing the whole video podcasting phenomenon over on www.benchd.com/blog and what that means for us in the next few days. Hictu run by Italian Voip entrepeneur Luca Filigheddu is also running in this space. Luca’s usual business is Voip so this is a departure for him. Watch out for developments. He was in the Valley at the same time as the Paddy’s Valley crew and he made some of the same mistakes as us (going to the WorkIT.com Silicon Valley mixer specifically) but a fantastically positive guy who I’ll buy a coffee for next time I see him for sure, maybe even lunch, but not through paypal. I might even go visit him in Italy (well I do have relatives there).

In the meantime if you’re jealous or want to know what it’s all about just ask me.

Peace out brothas…
