Seesmic has released their Twitter application for BlackBerry recently and I installed it to test and loved it majorly for of two reasons: It’s fast and there is lot more features in it. To be more specific everything is built in the menu which is smart enough to give you right options required at that time.
I have done a little comparison with Twixtreme, another twitter client for BlackBerry which works over wifi. Here is the list of features.
- Works over WIFI. Its really great to see that Seesmic has not made sure that their twitter client works fine even if you dont have full plan of BIS.
- Interact with any of the Twitter user which is mentioned in any bodys tweet in one click. You can reply and dm.
- Direct Messages and @Replies Notification on the Home screen.
- Quick Access to latest replies and Direct messages with count displayed. So you know how many are unread. Twixtreme doesnt show that.
- However When compared to Twixtreme, Seesmic doesnt have options connected to user like Making it Favorite, How many people the user is following, who are the followers. But on the other hand Seesmic lets you search for any hash tags immediately from there. Find out all updates of that particular user, Email the tweet in one click.
- Seesmic settings are better. You can set time interval for refreshing timeline, supports geo location which has been recently introduced by twitter and set number of tweets loaded.
Seesmic supports Twitter Lists which you have created and one which you are following. This is another advantage you get.
- I liked the Compose Tweet section also a lot, specially the Photo Upload one. It asks me either to explore file or use the camera. After you use the camera it gets you back to Compose section and asks for permissions to upload the picture. However you dont have choice when it comes to shorten any url. It uses Bit.ly be default. However you do have choice between TwitPic and yFrog.
- Scrolling is faster and you can use the option to go to fist or go to last for quick navigation.
- Save Twitter Search
Overall Seesmic has done an excellent job for their brand new Twitter Application which I am sure will take over the market. I hope they keep it free and keep it updating. I would highly recommend you to try it out as soon as possible.
