Seesmic for Windows - first thoughts

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!

My latest find - Rockstar Games wallpapers

I'm a sucker for free branded content and Rockstar Games have provided just that in the form of some (very) high quality wallpapers for all to download. Available in all resolutions thinkable (including iPhone and PSP), the wallpapers cover both game-related and generic themes and have enough to suit anyone's tastes.

The screensavers look very cool too, but they don't work on damned Snow Leopard...

Highly recommend a browse: http://www.rockstargames.com/downloads/#
