Video blogging has been atop of my interests lately and while I haven’t found my video micro-blogging solution yet, I am experimenting with various video commenting solutions for my Wordpress blog. I installed Viddler’s wordpress plugin which allows video comments. It was easy to install and worked like a charm.

Today, Seesmic has announced a Wordpress comment plugin which allows video integration with your Wordpress blog. It allows you to:

1. Post a video blog post on your Wordpress blog
2. Allow users to post video comments on blog posts

I’ve installed this plugin on this blog for the time being and I’ve found one feature that makes it very very useful: Anonymous video commenting. While the plugin does allow you to use your existing Seesmic credentials to post, most users may not want to create a Seesmic account just for a comment. I find this will encourage more users to post a video comment. On the flip side, it’s also a little scary that anonymous users can post a video comment @Critter on Twitter assures me that Seesmic video comments can be moderated just like regular Wordpress comments, but I’m still a little scared as to what may fall in my moderation queue

All in all, Seesmic’s Wordpress comment is a winner and now Viddler has a direct competitor in the form of video commenting on Wordpress blogs. Which is better? I think it’s way too early to say. Both are easy to use, both are well integrated with Wordpress, but Seesmic allows anonymous video comments which may be its main advantage. You be the judge. Want a Seesmic account? Check this out:

I don’t know if this is common knowledge, but if I were you, I’d jump on it! Feel free to leave a video comment on this blog post to test it out for yourself and also, to tell me what you think about Seesmic new Wordpress plugin.
