I guess the efforts of Robert Scoble and Loic Le Meur (who I met at LeWeb3) are paying off as Steven Spielberg and other celebrities have just adopted Seesmic.com as a way to asynchronously respond and/or promote their efforts.

This use of Seesmic was probably unforeseen but seems to strike the right note – and Robert Scoble has been flooding Twitter today with Tiny Urls of various celebrities that have suddenly jumped on board the Seesmic.com Bandwagon. 

In fact, Robert Scoble posted about it earlier today on Scobleizer - 

"…Today Seesmic got a HUGE win. The Indiana Jones crew, including famous movie stars and movie directors, are on Seesmic. Here, check them out:

There’s a lot more on this over on TechMeme this morning. These celebrities are so well known in our culture that I don’t even think I need to put their full names in my post. Ever heard of Harrison Ford? Steven Spielberg?

It’s interesting, CEO Loic Le Meur bristled when I told him that FriendFeed was the World Wide Talk Show. He said he was going to turn Seesmic into that and this shows that he’s probably right. Funny, though, that I first learned of this on FriendFeed. If you look at everyone this morning talking about Seesmic, you’ll see there’s a TON of new conversation happening thanks to these celebrities showing up on Seesmic."

 

I used Seesmic to respond and post my own thoughts, asynchronously, to Steven Spielberg's comments on the new Indiana Jones movie Spielberg first, than my response.  

Thanks to @Fred2Baro for plugging me onto the Spielberg story. 

Personally, I can't imagine living now, in this time, and not using Social Media, for all it's worth. 

The other night I was at a party and I spoke to someone that didn't have a mobile phone (said it makes her sick), doesn't use Twitter, doesn't know much or anything about Social Networks – and is a film producer. 

Ok, maybe microwaves can make some people sick (I'll grant that) but more often, I think some people are just afraid to embrace new technology – and to some extent – those people will find themselves, more and more, being left out of the conversation.
