What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Seesmic lets users record and upload videos via webcam or cell phone so they can have "video conversations" (blog-style -- not in real time). Users can post videos publicly or send them to friends and can delete their own videos. Most users are adults, and the community is friendly. However, the site is in its early stages and is still figuring out how to deal with the occasional rude or obscene video -- the topic is up for discussion in the community -- so users may stumble upon some unsavory stuff. The terms of service prohibit nudity and harassment, but there are no guidelines about other sexual content or profanity. The vast majority of videos are clean, though.
