"We were pretty excited when Facebook Connect made its way to your desktop in the form of a SeesmicSeesmic reviews client. Then, just two days later, FacebookFacebook reviews on your desktop arrived in true fashion courtesy of TweetDeck, allowing TwitterTwitter reviews and Facebook to sit side-by-side harmoniously in one window.\nSeesmic is making another play for the desktop today, this time not with the originally anticipated integration of Facebook with TwhirlTwhirl reviews functionality, but with a completely new product instead \u2014 Seesmic Desktop.\n\nThe new Seesmic Desktop is a dream application for the frequent status updater, group lover, and social media meme tracker alike, and now includes support for multiple columns that can be rearranged via drag-and-drop, custom and manageable groups, a left navigation bar for managing multiple accounts and searches, and even the ability to snap images via webcam for posting to TwitpicTwitPic reviews. All of this activity is now conveniently residing within one window.\n\nTo take advantage of the just released preview version, you have to be a member of Team Seesmic (you can sign up here), but after you download and install the new AIR app, you can add multiple Twitter accounts and unlimited columns to the Twitter-only desktop client.\nSeesmic Desktop aims to make both one-column and multi-column lovers happy at the same time. From a single column view, users can scan search results, Twitter accounts, replies, private messages, and groups using the left hand navigation bar. Each item on the left can also be detached as its own column. Whether that be your group of pre-defined friends, favorite search results, or sent messages, there aren't many limitations when it comes to the type and number of columns you can create in Seesmic Desktop.\n\nWhile you're keeping busy managing multiple accounts and search queries, don't forget to pay attention to the new URL shortener options \u2014 Digg's new shortener is included \u2014 userlists (Seesmic Desktop's name for groups), and the fact that duplicate tweets (across multiple Twitter accounts) are nonexistent.\nIn the never ending battle for your desktop, the real winner isn't Seesmic or TweetDeckTweetDeck reviews, but rather you, the end user. Both applications offer extremely similar and yet dissimilar ways to interface with Facebook and Twitter, with each developing its own passionate user base. \nWe're big fans of both \u2014 some of us live and die by TweetDeck, the rest Twhirl (and probably now Seesmic Desktop).  But will the new Seesmic Desktop make its way onto your desktop? Let us know in the comments. Oh and if you love Twhirl the way it is, don't worry, you can still continue to use it."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
