WeboLobby - All About Webs and Technology

Seesmic Desktop rolled out a popular Twitter client based on Adobe Air come up with a Web Based app for Twitter. Recently TweetDeck rolled a iPhone app and new desktop app. However Seesmic is also focusing on the iPhone App and soon it will gonna hit the market. when? we don't know yet.

With the web version they also roll up Seesmic Desktop version 0.4 with improved UI. I must say Seesmic Desktop UI improved too much time by time in each new version. but the most excitement thing is not the new Seesmic Desktop but it's the new web version.

Let's take a in depth review of Seesmic Web version.

Do we need Web version?

My answer is yes because Twitter's own web version is not fully featured and compact. Compared to Twitter Seesmic provides more features such as search monitoring within the app, timeline, @reply(Mention), DM, and the interface is similar like Seesmic desktop.

its too easy to use, you do not have to installing anything in the browser. No Adobe Air, No plugin, no addons, Just type www.seesmic.com/web into any browser address bar and get started.

It using the oAuth Authentication for the web version so you don't have to provide your password and username to seismic but just need to authorized them to stream your twitter account updates.

After doing the oAuth step you can add up your favorite search keywords in the web app so you can see what people are saying about your brand on twitter and that's not it it's to easy to follow and unfollow the people on Seesmic Web. Just hover the mouse courser to any profile and seesmic will display some basic information like profile link, follwing count, follower count and facility to follow or unfollow the people with in the web app!!

It also show that the number of messages you sent and received to a particular person and by clicking on particular line it also show a bubble type conversation which is easy to understand. it also show color coding for undear masseges in timeline too.

It showing the twitter updates near to real time and you can twist the UI in compact mode that look similar to co-tweet UI and column mode that smiler to Seesmic Desktop. that's not it, Seesmic web app also giving you the flexibility to chose which to show compact and which into row!!

Well, still not all Seesmic Desktop features are available in web app like user groups, short url service integration, image sharing integration like TwitPic, Moby picture etc. and right now main feature is needed that would be sync of web app and Desktop app settings but Seesmic will incorporate the all features in further update, I think.

Seesmic is also working on iPhone app as I already mentioned. it's a great thing from seesmic to have a Desktop, Web and an mobile app in a product portfolio. we need to see what TweetDeck is reacting by this new updates from Seesmic !
