Especially when they reference and connect to eachother's medium. Kosso I can read a newspaper or a book faster than it takes to watch a video, but I still like them all.

That is why Twitter works. Voice and video require playing each one individually. You can't scan ahead and process it quickly.

Sure, some people explain it like that because it's an easy way to explain what Seesmic is - roughly. But it's actually quite off the mark. There's a massive difference between interacting with people in short bursts of video and doing so in minuscule bursts of text. Comparing the two so directly isn't even like comparing apples and oranges - it's more like apples and cheeseburgers.
