I caught up with Seesmic evangelist Cathy Brooks at a poolside party on Monday night at the Digital Hollywood conference. Earlier this month, Seesmic provided a plug-in for WordPress blogs. Today, some 300 blogs are using the plug-in. The availability to upload videos to the popular TypePad and MoveableType platforms will surely drive adoption. Whether video uploads will be more than a fascinating development and if it will become a part of the blogesphere is tough to say, as Josh Catone over at Read/Write/Web has pointed out. I think video comments could be huge for popular culture blogs. Not sure if businesspeople will upload to blogs like Beet.TV, but we hope to give it a try on this TypePad-powered blog soon. -- Andy Plesser
