Add Video Comments To Your Blog…
Found out about a cool plugin for Wordpress today from The 30 Day Challenge. It’s really cool you can add video comments to your blog. It’s from Seesmic.com, and adds a great way to expand the interaction with readers.
I’ve been playing around with it today, and have already posted a comment on the 30 Day Challenge blog. It’s easy to post a comment with this plugin. I also found it easy to setup in the blog.
There is a nice feature to this option. Video blog comments get added to the Seesmic public time line. That means you could grab some traffic from people searching Seesmic. Cool beans.
One thing I like about this plugin is you don’t have to have an account with Seesmic. Anyone can post anonymously. Of course to prevent morons from posting insulting or spam videos you can have them held for moderation. I’m doing that for the time being.
You can grab the plugin at Seesmic’s Wiki page. On the wiki page they show you how to install it & how it works.
I’ve added a video comment to this post, so you can see how it works.
How about posting a video comment yourself?

Very cool. I found one a ways back that allows for either audio or video also, haven’t tried it yet though.
