Seesmic Unveils A Formidable New Twitter Client To Rival Tweetdeck: Seesmic Desktop
I’m live blogging from video conversation platform Seesmic’s headquarters, where Seesmic’s founder Loic Le Meur, is previewing a new Twitter client. We reported earlier about the unveiling of the site. Le Meur says that this is still a work in progress and ongoing changes will made to the product. Seesmic, who also owns popular Twitter app Twhirl, has launched a new Twitter client, Seesmic Desktop. Like Twhirl, Seesmic Desktop is a desktop app, operated by Adobe Air. Seesmic Desktop allows you to view multiple accounts in one window, unlike Twhirl, where you have to view multiple accounts in different windows.iPhone Apps- Seesmic vs. Tweetdeck
These two iPhone Twitter clients bring similar functionality, that make them head to head competitors. But they have some distinct features that have me puzzled. I am late to Twitter. I only "got it" when someone explained to me that it is a very abbreviated blog, only more spontaneous. With that, I got into it.
TweetDeck is raking in the buzz with the announcement of its new iPhone app , and an updated version of the desktop application that so many of you have come to love. Given that Seesmic Desktop has dominated our coverage recently, we thought it best to revisit our head-to-head and see which of the two desktop Twitter and Facebook apps come out on top this time. If you recall from the first go-around , TweetDeck came out slightly ahead but we accurately surmised that Seesmic Desktop wouldn’t surrender without a fight. Since that initial duel, we’ve seen Seesmic Desktop update a number of times, including today’s most recent update with integrations for social media super users and crossposting to multiple accounts. Is it time for a rematch? Leveling The Playing Field
TweetDeck Desktop vs Seesmic Desktop: REMATCH!
When you hear the name Seesmic today, chances are that you are thinking about a Twitter client , but once upon a time, Seesmic was a much-hyped online "video conversation" service. Now, however, after a recent redesign, the Seesmic homepage basically doesn't mention the video service anymore and the video service has moved to its own subdomain. In a new video, Seesmic founder, Loic Le Meur, reveals that Seesmic's video conversation site hasn't seen any growth in the last couple of months and that Seesmic plans to focus on its Twitter client in order to give Seesmic, the company, a chance to survive.
