Phoenix Real Estate Guy Adds Video Comment Capability

Pin It

I’ve added the Seesmic video comment plugin, which will allow you to post video comments to Phoenix Real Estate Guy.

It’s not playing perfectly well right now, I think I have some theme compatibility problems. This theme seems to have gone a bit wonky since upgrading to WordPress 2.5.1. “Sounds like a good excuse to switch themes!” you may be saying. I know I did. Stay tuned, we’ll be trying something new very soon…

So if you have a video camera / webcam, and a Seesmic account, feel free to give it a whirl!

What’s a Seesmic?  Think of it as video Twitter… sort of a community of people “chatting” via video. Some of it’s stupid nonsense, some of it very compelling stuff.

Here’s a horrific example of a short Seesmic video, complete with my daughter in the background trying to get the cat to stop its incessant meowing and begging for food. That would be Buzz, my $600 cat. You can here him starving quietly throughout the video…

Comments

We always appreciate your comments! Phoenix Real Estate Guy uses two commenting systems, Facebook and LiveFyre. LiveFyre is the most robust system (and easy to use!). It allows you to login with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ LinkedIn, OpenId, LiveFyre and as a "Guest". I recommend getting a LiveFyre account, it has some great features (just click the LiveFyre button when you write your comment).

 

BLOG COMMENT POLICY: We respectfully ask that you use your real name (first name only is fine) and not use keywords (Why no keywords?). The only real "comment rules" are be civil -- no personal attacks -- and no advertising. (See the full comment policy here). Opinion and debate are welcome, but attack the idea, not the person.

OK Susie and Candace - not looking good obviously didn't stop me, not excuse!

@Steve - I *am* looking forward to it!

@Chantal - I think my daughter was mortified that I left that in there. If you listen *real* carefully, you can hear the cat she was "urging" to be quite meowing through the whole clip.

@Jayson - this is as far as I've really delved into video. There will be more I'm sure.

@Mike - Thanks for the video reply!!

@Jay, I just ordered a webcam from mwave.com today. By the end of the week I'll be able to vcomment on your blog. I'm sure that's something you've been looking forward to, now isn't it?!

That's a nice new feature, you're staying ahead of the curve Jay - I've been wanting to get into videos but haven't just yet. I'll probably jump in just as they go out -

Jay, nothing of substance to add here. I just wanted to say that I absolutely love the big "Shuut Uuup," at the beginning of your video. This is what makes the online video universe such a wonderful place! Priceless!

(yes, I know that you left it there on purpose).

Jay -- since the beauty of sitting and working from my home office, I can sit with litterally no makeup and/or in my PJ's... so I won't be Seesmic 'ing with you today, but I will soon. While I'm here, I vote to go back to your original theme....I miss it already!!

I would add this option to my blog as well, but I need to get a web cam, to reply. Perhaps you've motivated me to get up with the times. On a somewhat related topic, I'm geeked about the potential of using Qik to stream iPhone video LIVE....

Hi there, I wish I had my face and hair all fixed up so I could send you a video response. Enjoy, very much, following you from here in beautiful WNC. Thank you...
