Idea of the week led by Kevin Rose inspired some very interesting conversation on the uses of location based technology and also Twitter (surprise surprise). Thanks Kevin for getting this going… These are the types of convo’s that I hope would occur more on Seesmic.

Qik is a service where you can live feed video from your cell phone to the web. It has only been available on certain Nokia models but with the release of the 3G iPhone, Qik is now available on the iPhone. This will sky rocket user numbers for Qik guaranteed. While streaming a Qik video people watching the video from the web can also live chat with the person streaming! Here is a demo that was filmed 13 minutes prior to this post by Kevin Rose of Digg.com.

Let us know if you’ve used Qik or have a new 3G iPhone.

Yesterday Gary and Kevin were together in Vegas and took an hour or so just to answer questions people had on Seesmic. A few notes on this:

• Seesmic is obviously sweet and is going to last. The big names are buying in.
• Kevin and Gary combined have phenomenal insights into building web companies and communities.
• I’m pissed I caught this late and didn’t ask a question.

I watched most of the question and answers and chose to post this one because of its relevance to start-ups. However, many questions were totally random and I loved that. One question was about how to sneak out of the house!? This question is about how to bring more people to a company as it relates to employees and as it relates to funding. Here is Kevin and Gary’s answer.

These guys are awesome. Look soon for my review of Gary Vaynerchuk’s new book: 101 Wines Guaranteed to Inspire, Delight, and Bring Thunder to Your World.
