With some creative use of your Web cam, Seesmic might provide another means of quick info updates from breaking-news scenes. Webware reviewed it.

Here’s a part of the service’s description that indicates the Web is becoming your Web site, my favorite song:

Users can link their Seesmic account to a Twitter account, if they have one, and every time they create a video a link (with the title) will automatically get posted to their Twitter feed. In future updates, Seesmic will also post to other services: email (see also EyeJot), blogs, Facebook, and YouTube. And you’ll be able to specify, for each video you create, which of those services get your post.

What we’re moving toward is one interface through which you can publish your content to every presentation site you maintain on the Web. Yes, I’ll sing it again: The Web is your Web site.

Publishing everywhere with one service is the most efficient model to reach the widest audience, so I can’t imagine someone would not fill the demand. I don’t know of this universal interface, yet, but a collection of services can provide it now.

One problem with publishing one bit of content across your network publication is that individual presentation sites have their own aesthetic. So a post that works well on your blog may fail on your Twitter page, or an article for your news site will sound pompous on your MySpace page.

It’s all about adapting to your audience’s information behavior, and it’s likely information workers will need to network with Twitterers (or Tumblrs, MySpacers, YouTubers, etc.) to optimize their content for the sites through which it is presented.

The end result of the Web becoming your Web site is that a content’s quality and ability to adapt to different information uses and presentation styles will weigh more and more heavily in the evaluation of its success.
