Twitter isn't losing growth... just the opposite!
How wrong... again!
Twitter isn't losing usage and growth. On the contrary. What's happening it's a transition from the web version to the apps version.
Let's face it... Using twitter through their pages it's a pain. Seesmic Web Version is so much better... and Loic (Seesmic founder) has just posted an article mentioning an increasing growth by 30%/month. It's huge.
The fact is, savvy people are using the app's versions. Why? Because it's more convenient, more powerful to keep track and filter the huge following lists by topics and keywords. The functionalities are extremely better through the apps than through twitters web version.
That's the reason. It's not a decline. It's an adaptation...
Seesmic launches mobile apps for Android and BlackBerry, but not iPhone
Seesmic has brought its Twitter client to the mobile arena as well with the launch of clients for the Android and BlackBerry platforms. Both apps are available for freeExcerpt from Mashable. This is great. An alternative to UberTwitter for my BlackBerry, though native RIM application for Twitter that I'm waiting for. Btw, no Seesmic for iPhone?
Seesmic for Windows is Awesome but Premature
via help.seesmic.com
I've been using the new Seesmic for Windows all day now, and here's what I've come up with.
The Good:
- It's not built on the rather flaky Adobe AIR.
- It looks superb. The UI is much cleaner and much more responsive. The glass is especially yummy.
- Memory consumption seems to be about half that of Seesmic Desktop.
The Not-So-Good:
- Memory consumption seems to be about half that of Seesmic Desktop.
- Mouse-wheel scrolling does not work. This may be limited to laptop trackpads.
- Notification settings are incomplete and are somewhat hidden.
- Column settings are missing altogether.
- Seesmic for Windows cannot be minimized to the tray, nor does it utilize Windows 7's jump lists for the taskbar icon.
- When sending a tweet, there is no progress wheel or any other marker.
- Twitter lists still are still not updated automatically, but must be manually refreshed.
There are other limited/missing/buggy features, but luckily they're all listed at Seesmic's Helpdesk. I would have preferred to wait another 2 weeks for them to implement rudimentary features, like mouse scrolling and working buttons. Still, it looks and feels great, and I can definitely see this becoming the Twitter app of choice for power users (those who use Windows, anyway).
Seesmic web looks messed up in firefox 3.5.5
I’m trying to figure out why seesmic web looks messed up in firefox 3.5.5. At first I thought it was an extension, but disabling them all didn’t help at all. Hope they fix it soon.
Seesmic for Windows - first thoughts
via mashable.com
I'll keep it short and sweet rather than bore y'all with an in-depth review:
Pros:
- Cleaner interface than Tweetdeck
- Efficient synching with the Twitter API (doesn't max out your limited API calls)
- Great in-line "post update" text field - link shortening and photo uploading are seamless
- Search function works well
- Native Twitter list support
Cons:
- Often has issues identifying exactly what Tweet it is you are clicking on (selects the wrong one on right click sometimes - wierd!)
- No "reply to all" function
- Not able to directly select Tweet text content for copy-and-paste
- No notifications
- No "follow/unfollow user" option
All in all, I prefer it to Tweetdeck.
This application's a welcome break from the typical Tweetdeck-assault-on-the-eyes and has actually encouraged me to read more than one list of Tweets at a time.
Lack of notifications and "follow/unfollow user" functionality is a bit of a kick in the teeth for the time being, but hey, it is a very early beta build after all!
On trial today: Seesmic for Windows
via mashable.com
Seemingly each day a new Twitter client blots out of the stable door to the world of social media nuts, most of which I ignore/disregard/can't be bothered to download. But having had great experiences with Seesmic's Twhirl Twitter app, I've decided to give the new Seesmic for Windows a while - so far it looks good!
I'll continue playing around with it today and share my thoughts in a follow-up post. No direct download link is provided on the official website yet (as you have to sign up) so visit http://d.seesmic.com/swin/setup.exe to grab a copy for yourself.
Also, take a look at my impressions of the Android version at retroid.com "Seesmic: The best Android Twitter client?"

Twitter odkrywa (łatwego :-) ) ReTweeta...
Dzisiaj pierwszy raz od kilku tygodni zalogowałem się na stronie webowej Twittera i tu niespodzianka: zostałem wybrany do grupy testerów nowej usługi czyli dużo prostszego retweeta.
Trochę mnie to rozbawiło, bo od dawna używam innych narzędzi do twittowania i takie gadżety mam na codzień :-) Ale... po chwili zorientowałem się, że to nie jest tylko prosty ReTweet. Po pierwsze jak kliknę na ikonkę (lub napis) to pojawia się proste menu
Fajne, że mnie informuje :-) Druga różnica to możliwość śledzenia ReTweetów cudzych, własnych i tych, które mnie retweetowały :-) Pozwala na to okienko, które ujrzymy po kliknięciu na lin Retweets po prawej stronie ekranu. Znajdziemy tu trzy zakładki:
- Retweety osób, które śledzimy (Follow)
- Moje Retweety
- Twoje Retweety, które ktoś przesłał dalej
Jeszcze niedawno byłem fanem Seesmica w różnych wersjach: desktop i webowej, jednak ostatnio przekonałem się, a raczej przekonał mnie jakieś porównanie Seesmica i TweetDecka, do tego ostatniego. Generalnie TweetDeck jest lepszy, wygodniejszy i co najważniejsze szybszy od Seesmica. Teraz pewnie na kilka dni wrócę do webowego Twittera.
