Twitter Desktop Client War Between TweetDeck and Seesmic!

May 4th, 2009 by junal Leave a reply »

I have just played with Seesmic new twitter desktop client. Though i have been using TweetDeck for last couple of months. Just wanted to try out the new twitter desktop client as there is a huge buzz about it on twitter and friendfeed. So, what’s so difference between TweetDeck and Seesmic? Well, everything is almost same just facebook integration on new Seesmic desktop client simply rocks. But wait, you gotta call Seesmic a clever jack! Why? Because they just used the new “Open Stream API” and “Facebook for Adobe AIR” very smartly. Facebook Open Stream API was just released a few days ago.I just think if TweetDeck’s last release was little bit delayed it would be great for them. Because then, they would include all these stuffs that Seesmic added. I’m pretty sure now TweetDeck will move it’s ass really fast to get all these new facebook api features enabled in their stomach. And well, facebook made a great move allowing developers to access users’ home stream. Seesmic is the latest result of that move and we gotta wait to see more applications based on this new API. By the way, I’m enjoying Seesmic client for now, let’s have a look at some screenshots.

and well, I guess war is just begun. I asked TweetDeck on twitter to know if they are gonna add new Seesmic’s features in their next version. and they said there will be “big differences in the next version, we have different path“. Smart answer Tweetdeck!
