Though the Seesmic logo may seem a bit cartoonish, the software is nothing less than professional. With a wealth of features and a frequent release of updates, Seemsic has quickly become my Twitter desktop client of choice. Not only can you manage multiple accounts with Seesmic, the variety of display modes available make it rather easy to manage the multiple timelines. Seesmic will interact with your Facebook account as well.
Seesmic makes it easy to share pictures from your hard-drive with your Twitter followers, or you can use your webcam to snap a picture. Seesmic offers a variety of image hosting services to choose from. Combine this with the integrated URL shortening services and text shortening, Seesmic helps you make the most out of the 140 character limit.
I was using TweetDeck before I found Seesmic and now rarely open TweetDeck, and only for reference while writing about it.
I find the Seesmic user interface to be easier to use, more polished, and far less gloomy than that of TweetDeck and I love how easy it is to change the display mode. View everything from a single column view, or pick which style of multi-column view you prefer. Add or subtract columns for replies, direct messages, saved searches, or anything in your “Sent” stream for example.
You can organize Twitter users you follow by assigning them to groups, and open a column dedicated to a group to see what is happening with the users assigned to it. Opening and closing columns couldn’t be easier, and keeping your timelines organized this way certainly saves time. Twitter users who follow many others will benefit from Seesmic ‘s user-friendly interface greatly.
I do think the text which designates which service and account the messages are assigned could be bigger. Seesmic would benefit from a more prominent display of them, but all in all, I am very satisfied with the Seesmic desktop Twitter client. And with some of the newer features coming down the pipeline as well as the Seesmic on the web, I am sure you will see more and more people utilizing this wonderful tool.
Seesmic Desktop is an amazing Twitter and Facebook client. I spent 4 weeks (2 each) using Seesmic and TweetDeck to compare and Seesmic won my heart no contest…and it wasn’t just those raccoons! Thanks for confirming my decision so eloquently. Donna Winter / @technobozo
Hello Donna,
The racoons are growing on me, but I was already hooked within the first 30 minutes of using Seesmic. I can’t wait to see what is in the next update.
Thanks for stopping by, take care!
I know what you mean. I used Seesmic first and the entire time I was on TweetDeck I couldn’t wait to go back. To be fair, I finished the entire 2 weeks for each with an open mind. Glad to have found you. Can’t wait for the next Seesmic update and yours, too. Thanks!
