Seesmic Look
Seesmic have been around a while now and just released a new Desktop application, Seesmic Look. Seesmic recently took a short break from Desktop applications and branched out into mobile apps, which are reasonably decent although not the best on their respective platforms.
Seesmic have claimed they are trying to bring twitter to the masses with this new program and whilst I’m not so sure they will do that, it really is a beautiful application and it really showcases what good developers can do with WPF on Windows. The UI is sleek and shiny, everything moves so smoothly. Its easy to use and you don’t even have to log in to Twitter to use many of its features.
At the end of the day though, it is still Twitter and despite looking gorgeous, its not going to change how people use Twitter. To get the full benefit, you still need to log in to get your Timeline, DM’s, etc. The only feature that is really new is the playback feature and the way trending topics are shown when you first load Look, using the new Playback feature (Which is very pleasing to the eye). Its definitely a step in the right direction for Twitter clients and its by far the best I’ve seen or used to date and will now become my main client on my desktop.
So well done Seesmic, despite my few criticisms, you have create a wonderful way to interact with Twitter. You should definitely give it a try if you use Twitter, you will most definitely find yourself amazed at how pretty it is and how easy it now is to view tweets. I should quickly say, it did freeze once of twice for my on Windows 7, but its been pretty stable otherwise.
