Techcrunch Add Seesmic Option To Their Comments

I have noticed while surfing Techcrunch that they have added a new feature today, that they plan to announce tomorrow. The feature in question is Seesmic, and at the bottom of every post now on Techcrunch users have the option to add a video comment. This inclusion was really only a matter of time, due to the fact that Mike Arrington is an investor in Seesmic, so any publicity is obviously good publicity.

This comes a month after Mashable had added a similar option to their site, but partnered with Viddler to do so. On Mashable however they dont have too many comments on posts to start with and also as far as I can see the Viddler partnership has added absolutely nothing to the site or user experience. Thus, im curious to see if the Seesmic option on Techcrunch actually gets used.

Update: Mike reported about adding video comments, but didnt even link back to my article that was published first. How rude! haha.

    @Sharon I can actually see now that the video commenting service on Techcrunch is really getting used! On Mashable no one uses the service at all, and it is also quite rare that they get a real discussion happening.
