Overview
Seesmic lets you update and view the content from different networks like Facebook and Twitter. Also there are some useful Twitter Channel presets which let you browse different topics (like for Tech it could be Engaged.com). You can follow trends, update status or write messages to your friend. Many user say it is the best social network MashUp App that exist for WP7.
When I started it I got a wonderful design in WP7 style. Even the icons fit pretty well into the design. Each network has its own section but will only be shown if you added your account successfully. So you will not be overwhelmed with too many options in the beginning.
There is even a small browser inside of that app where you can follow the links posted in a network without leaving the app. Furthermore you can use bit.ly for short URLs if you have a account. Also it uses TwitPic for uploading images for twitter messages (you can also choose the uploaded quality to save bandwidth.
The Page “Spaces” don’t even gives you an overview and access point to your added accounts, but you can also add saved searches for twitter keywords on that space which makes the experience to a perfect WP7 one.
Pros
- Good metro design
- MashUp of Twitter and Facebook
- Many useful options (e.g. bit.ly)
Cons
- The list get a bit slow when there are a lot of items inside
Possible Improvements
- Support more social networks
