Seesmic was there. They had a nice size booth and it was staffed and had computers/cameras set up. I think they were doing interviews and such, saw a bunch of Seesmic hats.

I’d say it is not. It’ pretty unprofessional and shows a certain level of immaturity.

Allen raised some valid questions. If LeMeur decided to answer, he should have done it professionally with valid answers. Who knows, maybe there were some good reasons he choose not to use Seesmic for the broadcasting.

Now, we’ll never know. We simply know that he responds off the cuff without forethought. Let’s hope he doesn’t run his business that way.

No definitively, that astonishes me because it shows business immaturity , but I suppose problems of scalability at seesmic, at the top, more than 2′100 simultaneous connections ìs far away from the seesmic servers possibilities.

Sorry Allen, I do enjoy your articles but really must agree with the guy. Reasons in the appropriate article. A bit shocked after the comments that you would take up another page with this personal vendetta. Nothing like some good publicity, though; I hadn’t even checked out Seesmic until finding your posts :).

I agree with Allen on this one and on the other hard questions he’s asking of venture-backed CEO’s. There’s too much hype in this industry, and what Allen does is constructive. These are example of Worst Practices and should be avoided.
