My last post was about Seesmic, a new tool that I continue to think has potential for beat blogging.

I highlighted a thread started by Paul Bradshaw - and it has yielded some fruit.

John Hassell at the Star Ledger notes the potential Seesmic has for columnists in his own Seesmic video and also gets the chance to respond to a reader in a follow up video.

Obviously journalists can do video responses to EVERY single reader question - but Seesmic is very… echem… seamless. It isn’t hard to do several videos a day.
