Robert Scoble chats with Box.net’s Aaron Levie and Jen Grant

Last week, Robert Scoble of building43 stopped by Box HQ for a chat with CEO/Co-founder Aaron Levie and VP of Marketing Jen Grant. They talked about the new content viewing and embedding features we recently introduced, where Box is headed with Cloud Content Management, and how Box’s open platform has brought key integrations with business applications like Salesforce.com and a growing variety of mobile apps to Box customers.

Get Some Seesmic on That Blackberry

A Thursday update to Seesmic for BlackBerry fills in some big coverage holes missing from Seesmic’s proficient desktop tweeter for Windows and Mac. It may be time for those heavy Twitter users among you to get Seesmic back on your radar, if not on your BlackBerry.

Retweeting is Seesmic’s main addition in the latest release, where the retweet funtionality pops up into the options menu. Retweeting quickly reposts another user’s 140 characters as is. For more creative control, there’s also Quote, which will let you edit a tweet–even adding geolocation, a short URL, and a photo–to the message before sending. Like Ubertwitter, Seesmic for Blackberry now includes a preview of a picture embedded within an opened tweet. Good. Now you can slake your curiosity without having to leave the app or wait for a full-size image to load in the browser. The same goes for links leading to Google maps.
