Last week, the Web company Seesmic launched a new tool focused on making twitter a little more accessible to the masses by releasing Seesmic Look. Look is a Windows XP or Vista application that allows you to view tweets from the people you’re following in a simple, clean interface that’s anyone can use. (Note the “Anyone” part)

The application is designed to let users view “Tweets” in a stream kind of like Pop-Up video or CNN, when they try to be clever and post random Twitter comments in a show.

I started thinking about how New Users (Newbies) would use this. So, I decided to search the term “Dating” to see how a newbie user might take to the Twitter with Seesmic Look.

That’s a full screenshot of my desktop (Just in case you wanted to have the experience without full feeling of installing another app).

I also searched a few other terms to see how newbies might start to understand Twitter.This led to a bunch of laughs and my suggestion that you install it and pick your own terms. A list of the top 10 can be found here, if you need hints: (http://www.clickz.com/3634942)

If you started using Twitter a while back to keep in contact and communicate with friends all over the place, imagine that newbies will most likely find completely novel uses for Twitter given an application like Look. As Look gives the user a stream of consciousness that could easily become entertainment, I can see a number of funny things happening:

1. Seesmic Look: The New Alternative to Nintendo Wii in the TV room at a House Party

Almost every laptop these days has video out and if that doesn’t work, most people have a relatively technical friend who can figure out how to get video on a big screen.  A few drinks later and bad searches later and everyone’s laughing.

2. A New Diversion from the Boss

Think of the hours of work that could be wasted watching pop-ups of all the interesting things your Twitter friends have to say while at work. You could even cut your list back to pornstars and celebrities to keep on top of what @heidimontag is eating while waiting for @jennajameson to tell you she’s taking a shower.

3. Dating

I’m sure everyone here (Bryce) has gotten inappropriate sexual offers on Facebook. Think how much cooler it’ll be when all of your friends can see people fumble trying to ask you out publicly? Hello again High School!

4. Something to do after you’ve watched all the re-runs of CSI and NCIS

Finally, it’s auto-updating. So, after you’re tired of seeing the episode where Grisholm does that experiment you’ve already seen 12 times, you could switch on the internet, tune in and drop out
