Seesmic, the video-service that Loren Feldman loves to hate, has raised $6-million.

That’s a big accomplishment given the video market is ultra-competitive and Seesmic is trying to jump-start the rather strange idea of having video conversations. But what’s more impressive is the list of investors. It’s like an all-star team featuring players from Web 1.0 and Web 2.0:

* The lead investor is Atomico – a group founded by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis.
* Michael Arrington – Founder, TechCrunch
* Steve Case – Co-Founder and former CEO and Chairman, AOL
* Jeff Clavier – Managing Partner, SoftTech VC
* Ron Conway – Early investor, Google
* Steve Garfield – video blogger
* Dan Gillmor – Director, Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship
* Reid Hoffman – Founder, LinkedIn
* Michael Parekh – Managing Director, Goldman Sachs
* Mark Pincus – Co-Founder and former Chairman and CEO, SupportSoft
* Ariel Poler – Founder and former CEO, IPRO and Topica
* Jeff Pulver – Chairman and Founder, Pulver.com
* Martin Varsavsky – Founder, FON
