I’ve been using Twitterrific the last few months, but I heard of Seesmic Desktop (http://seesmic.com) a couple of months ago. I decided not to use it because it’s still a pre-release/beta. Well, earlier this week, I decided to try it out. I’m glad I did, as it integrates with not only Twitter but also Facebook. Also, it allows for multiple accounts. The other features include the ability to create friends/groups so that you only watch the updates you’re most interested in. This works great for me, as I have created a news group, tech group, and friends group. Finally, you can also create a feed based on search terms. Since I’m big on the Palm Pre, I have a search group for that. Seesmic Desktop is an awesome tool to help you get through sorting all the Twitter/Facebook updates and getting the info that you’re really interested in.

Seesmic is built using Adobe Air. I have it installed on my Mac, but Adobe Air should give the same experience whether you’re on a Mac or PC. If you haven’t seen the latest programs made using Adobe Air, check out http://www.adobe.com/products/air.
