I’ve been playing with Seesmic’s Silverlight version tonight on Windows 7. Seesmic’s AIR client lets me do that (I can even write to either my private Facebook profile or my public Facebook page). I can’t log into multiple Twitter accounts (I have three now, and will be adding more soon).Ģ. Oh, I can hear all the geeks yelling “and it doesn’t take much memory, the way, say, Adobe AIR does.” Absolutely! Google Chrome running on Windows 7 takes less memory on my computer (even with Seesmic Web loaded) than either Seesmic’s AIR version or Seesmic’s Silverlight version (released into private beta tonight).īut there’s a few important things missing from Seesmic’s Web addition:ġ. That’s why I love Seesmic‘s Web version so much. ![]() It’s really great to just jump up on stage, open a web browser, hit a website and have all your info up there. If I set up a desktop app for Maryam, then I have to log out and ruin her experience when I want to use that same app, too. It’s nice to just sign onto a web site and get access with my password. I also sometimes sneak onto my wife’s computer. Why? Because that way if my computer dies, or gets stolen (that happens to laptops) all I need is a new computer with a web browser and I’m back in business. The thing is I’ve been trying to live my life completely in the cloud. So, I need a client that runs on desktops, laptops, and netbooks. Second, I use both Windows 7 (which rocks a lot more than most Mac fans will admit) and the latest Macintoshes. On the Droid I use Twidroid, which does support lists (an advantage of being a developer on the Android platform is that you can release software two to six weeks faster than on the iPhone because there isn’t a centralized approval process you need to go through. Tweetie is very good and all I am waiting for now is support for Twitter’s new features, like Lists, RT’s, and geolocation. Echofon? I don’t like the UI (I know others do, which is why you should check them out for yourself). Yes, I’ve tried all the others and while Simply Tweet is better in places I like the UI of Tweetie better and Tweetie has never crashed, while TweetDeck crashes on me and my friends all the time. This week? That’s Tweetie 2.0 for an app and Dabr for a Web page (Dabr supports lists, which none of the iPhone apps do yet). So, I must have the best possible iPhone client. ![]() My wife, uses Facebook on her iPhone all the time. ![]() The perfect client does not exist.įirst, I use my iPhone (and now my Droid) for Twitter a LOT. I am in search of the perfect client that will help me use Facebook and, particularly, Twitter (which I use a lot more than Facebook because that is the best place to network with other technology professionals). Probably more than 99.9999% of people in the world. All the features you have come to expect are essentially back in an all-new way with TweetDuck.I use Twitter and Facebook a lot. Thus, you have nothing to worry about if you are tired and frustrated by not having those features anymore. But perhaps the people who will get the most are those who look to emulate the features they lost when the previous app disappeared. Regular users can surely get a lot of value out of this app. There are also messages that can be automated much easier than other items. The tweets, posts, and lists you have at your disposal are just the tip of the iceberg. The features can be customized, and you will find that your Twitter accounts can be designed how you need them to be. The layout is pretty much the same as it was. The features are pretty nice in addition. It has a dashboard and an element that is supported by the desktop. It was surprising during our review that it replaced the other app. It is unofficial, yet it is very effective.Īs such, it is a versatile application that offers many of the same features you might have expected. It is a Twitter client that looks to solve the problem of being a desktop app that TweetDeck no longer offers. ![]() TweetDuck is the new reincarnation of TweetDeck.
