Seesmic is a social software application site offering Seesmic Desktop, an Adobe Air application that integrates multiple Twitter accounts and your Facebook account and Facebook pages. Seesmic also offers a browser based client for Twitter.
Seesmic originated as a short social video sharing service, founded by highly regarded European entrepreneur and LeWeb conference founder, Loic Le Meur. As a video service aggregating your favorite web products, Seesmic’s tagline of “Join the Conversation” focused on helping users build and/or become part of an innovative video sharing community. In Seesmic’s short span, this fast-growing service was compared as “Twitter for video.”
In April of 2008, Seesmic acquired Twhirl, a desktop Twitter client with the intentions of integrating Seesmic video content with Twitter. Through progressive iterations of Twhirl, the opportunity to build communities through solely sharing video content expanded to enabling users to build their community through other social networks.
In March of 2009, Seesmic launched a scalable new product called Seesmic Desktop, which integrates both Twitter and Facebook. Seesmic Desktop has also integrated several tools and services from URL shorteners to image-sharing services. Seesmic Desktop allows you to manage several Twitter accounts, build groups (Userlists), create saved searches and utilize an anti-spam tool. This fully integrated tool, described as a “Bloomberg of Social Media”, Seesmic Desktop now allows users to help “Build Your Community,” which is currently Seesmic’s tagline.
In July of 2009, Seesmic launched the preview version of Seesmic Web, a web based version that allows you to: manage your Twitter stream in a Gmail-like interface; save your Twitter searches synchronized with your Twitter account; and hold threaded conversations in your direct messages (DM’s). Because it’s browser-based, Seesmic Web allows you to manage your community in any web platform. Seesmic is also developing an iPhone version.
“The goal is to make Seesmic the gateway to all your social services, no matter what platform you’re on at any moment. If you want to work solely from the Web, if you prefer local apps, or if you’re mobile, Le Meur wants to make sure that your community, however or wherever you’ve set it up, is there for you.” Rafe Needleman of Webware - CNET - “Seesmic CEO on the business of Twitter”

Seesmic Web is a Twitter client in-browser and was, at one point, a crappy video-commenting tool. The CEO of Seesmic, some jerk named Loic LeMeur or something, likes to use this investors’ money to fly all over the world instead of creating a viable product.
