In the most exciting encounter between an owl and a raccoon since the beginning of time, the co-founder of Mr. Tweet (@mingyeow) met Mr. Seemic (@loic) last week. The meeting ended with Loic pulling out his ever handy Flip Mimo and doing an interview which scared the camera shy mingyeow, probably for life. Check out the video below:
Seriously, Loic has the most energy amongst anyone I have had the pleasure of meeting with. Not to mention Seesmic has tons of great stuff in the works. Be sure to tell Seesmic how you want them to improve their services!
