The preview of Seesmic Desktop is not good. Seesmic lost the clean flexible
layout from twhirl and tried to get the fullscreen goodness from TweetDeck and
EventBox. It sounds like good idea but they failed at there first try. The new
metallic UI from the screenshot got me excited but after the first run it have
to conclude that it feels to clumsy. Its just to slow compared to TweetDeck and
the sidebar doesn't come close to the freshness of a Mac native app like
Eventbox. On features side it misses the integration with other social platforms
and services like Facebook and Mobypicture.
I will stick with TweetDeck for now, but Seesmic has a great listening ear so
I look forward to the next release.
