It's early days for this fledgling site, but seesmic is "video twitter" and changes the game as far as online video is concerned. It may look like just another video sharing site at first, but it's not. Play with it for a few days then tell me I'm wrong ;-) Sign up for seesmic.com.

Clever thoughts elude me. It works as a substitute for an e-mail list, one that is more easily formatted, easier to review, etc. It has some advantages over a simple course website, or an e-classroom. But I'm sure I'm missing something.It would be terrific if you could write up lessons learned, bright ideas, or the like. I imagine it would interest a wide audience. I'd certainly link to it.
