Seesmic Web Ups Ante for Twitter Management Tools

Ah you're quick Danny, I was going to run a post on the web app soon. I may do a post covering the web app and all the new updates to the desktop app in one shabam since they never stop pumping out updates!Big fan of everything that seesmic has been doing. If nothing else, their customer service is what keeps me coming back. The features they keep adding just make the decision that much easier.

I'm a Seesmic lover, too. Both Tweetdeck and Seesmic have given me some problems, but Seesmic is much more consistent in displaying mentions and DMs quicker than Tweetdeck. Half the time I don't ever see mentions on Tweetdeck unless I restart the application.I think I'd try the Web app. Looks promising and the fact that it cuts down on memory use (thus keeping my computer from overheating) is the highlight for me.Looking forward to at least trying it out. Thanks for the sneak preview/review!

I like the browser option for accessing Twitter, and know the competition keeps everyone on their toes, but desktop clients still hold the edge in functionality. As to looking at TweetDeck vs Seesmic, I keep trying Seesmic and always switch back to TD - I think they're about equal, but TD is more ingrained and I typically need a compelling reason to change my work habits.

I think I'll be the same as you, Roger. I'll stay with the desktop version for my main use, but if I'm on vacation or similar I'll use the web version as opposed to the standard Twitter that I currently use.

Hi Danny,Have you tried twitscoop.com as well ? Might be of interest to you to compare with another web-based twitter client.Cheers

Seesmic just keeps forging ahead. Tweetdeck is going to have to do some catch-up here. I'll probably use my desktop version, still. But when away from home or at some other location, will be nice to have the option! Fast post, Danny, right on top of things!

I'm testing Seesmic Web on Chrome at the minute and there's no hit. I think because it's on its own server as well (as opposed to a FF add-on), that might help with the resource issue?I've actually moved away from Firefox at the minute as it was constantly crashing and freezing on me. Moved over to Chrome, which is pretty cool. It's a shame - I really like Firefox but lately stability has been an issue (well, for me at least!).Not sure about the Facebook problem - it might be Facebook itself as I had issues with them in last half hour (no home feed, wall info disappeared, etc). I'll keep an eye on that, thanks! :)

I've tried many clients, and I've been using Seesmic Desktop for a while now, so obviously, it's my favorite. But I've often attempted to use one of the web-based clients (Peoplebrowsr is pretty cool), but the problem I've had with each of them is that they've sucked up Firefox resources like crazy, making my browser slow to respond to anything. I will give Seesmic Web a chance, but if I have to make a choice between browser resources and desktop resources, I'll choose desktop every time. Still, Seesmic Web looks promising, and will definitely be good if I'm on someone else's PC.Oh, and P.S. I was going to comment here by first using Twitter to log in (buttons above comment box), but after logging in here with the Twitter button, the comment box disappeared. I couldn't comment! So I had to log out and comment as a guest instead. I run FF 3.0.12 on Linux (ubuntu) so it may be a problem just for a few, but thought you should know anyway.

I recommend Seesmic Web to people I know who aren't able to install programs on their desktops at work. I use Tweetdeck at home primarily because I'm a huge fan of keyboard shortcuts, and Seesmic Desktop doesn't have keyboard shortcuts yet.

great read. Thx for info.

I switched to Seesmic Desktop a couple of months ago and really love it, but it can be a memory hog. The web app solves that problem - first impressions are very positive.

Oops, sorry, just realized I replied about a Facebook issue and you were on about Twitter - sorry!

Great move. These guys are kicking some serious ass.

Interesting. Just had a look at it - nice and simple alternative to Twitter. Are you considering multi-columns at all or staying with the single column approach?

Hi Danny,
