There’s a new update for the Seesmic Desktop software, including tools that tightly integrate Facebook.
Mashable’s Pete Cashmore describes it as “awesome”, bubbling about how the new and improved Seesmic “lets you use Facebook on the desktop in the same way that it – and rival TweetDeck – allowed you to use Twitter.”
While some people may be enthusiastic about having another interface to play with Facebook, it does little for me. Facebook is a different creature that doesn’t involve the same kind of engagement so having new tools on Seesmic or, for that matter, TweetDeck seem unnecessary.
This may have to do with that I’m not a big Facebook user. Once in awhile, I update my status and share a link or two, but it’s not my go-to social media tool. For me, Twitter has must more utility and value, which is why I use TweetDeck for Twitter, and that’s it.
As for Seesmic, I would describe as “okay”. I’ve played around with it but I like TweetDeck more. To be, Seesmic is trying really hard to be TweetDeck, and TweetDeck is still more user-friendly.
In fact, I like Twhirl (Seesmic’s predecessor) more than Seesmic.
