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 created by Loic Le Meur, Founder and CEO of Seesmic. This web-based version of Seesmic recreates some of the features that are currently available in the desktop application. This app was unveiled on July 2009. In Seesmic Web, you can: * you can shuffle columns around by simply dragging and dropping them * the one-column, Gmail-style view, and works great for users on netbooks and other devices with limited screen estate * in-line replies work very well in the Gmail-style view * every column can be set to show a traditional view of your stream (with avatars etc.) or it can be set to show a Gmail-style, one-column UI view * when you mouse over a user’s avatar, you can easily send them a direct message, follow the user (or unfollow), and bring up a user’s profile
On November 2009, Seesmic Web was one of the first to add Twitter Lists and GeoLocation support to the interface.
