DroidWars: Twitter clients – Q1, 2010

App: Seesmic, by Seesmic

Price: Free

Features: Multiple accounts, video/photo/location sharing, URL shortening, save tweets drafts

Tested: 03/19/10, Nexus One | Version: 1.21

seesmic_replyNot everyone wants 30 buttons and endless theming options. Seesmic is a simple app with virtually no learning curve. Open it up, tap a couple of buttons, and you know exactly what this thing does and how to use it. But don’t be fooled: Seesmic can keep up with the big boys when it comes to the features in high demand. It handles multiple accounts and attachments easily and won’t bog you down with junk you don’t use.

Seesmic for Android doesn’t yet feature the Facebook integration that I find so incredibly useful in their Mac desktop version, but I consider that little rascal in the notification bar a friendly face on the Android scene. If you like to keep things simple and quick, give Seesmic 10 minutes of your time. That will be long enough to decide if it’s the app for you. It’s free, so why not?

I love the features of Twidroid Pro especially being able to handle multiple accounts. But lately I've trying twicca and I definitely enjoy the simple clean UI and smaller footprint. I'm using twicca more and more.

Twicca COULD be the best twitter client. There is only one huge problem: When there is a notification for new tweets, these tweets are not cached by the application. This means you have to wait until the tweets are loaded. This is anoying somtimes, so i use twidroid now.

Seesmic is by far the best Twitter client. It has the cleanest interface and is completely free. I tried Twicca after reading this article, but I found its interface to only be marginally better than Twidroid, which I really dislike.

That was actually on my original list, but I had way too many clients and had to trim away the ones I didn't like as much. I know it's a good app, I'm just not a fan, personally.

What should I have mentioned?

Why no mention of Swift Tweets? Simple, fast, and includes an awesome "light" browser within the app.

Nine pages? Come on. I was going to read this until I realized you are just jacking up your page count hits to earn more money from the ads on the right side of the website.

You havent reviewed seesmic well. Its my favourite android twitter app out there

For me, it's almost more important that I can fit as many tweets onto a screen as possible. I find Seesmic, Twitdroid, and Touiteur do the best at not wasting screen space. I hate having to constantly scroll when using Tweetcaster or Hootsuite. If touiteur was faster it would probably be my number 1. For some reason the load times on that are far longer than with Seesmic or Twitdroid.

Agree, Twicca is the best twitter client ever made. They could make a widget to update right from the desktop, without enter the app, but it's ok. I also like Tweegee, when on Android 1.5 (Twicca is 1.6+ only).

I'm with you in hoping tweet deck is released on Android. Its the main twitter client i use on my PC. Opening pics and vids in the client itself is a revelation. Navigation is easy. Facebook integration is alright too. Fingers crossed it will get released on android soon :).
