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!

LEGO Digital Camera

LEGO goodness returns to the blog in some style, with the LEGO Digital Camera.

Now all the fun of LEGO bricks is engineered into a real digital camera. The LEGO Digital Camera looks like it is built completely from LEGO bricks, but it can not be taken apart. LEGO bricks can be added to the top and the bottom so kids can integrate it into their building creations. But this is not a toy. Its a full functioning 3MP digital camera featuring 1.5″ LCD screen, built-in flash, fixed focus and digital zoom. The camera holds up to 80 photos at a time. Let your imagination go wild.
