TweetDeck & People Browsr to Get Twitter Multi-Account Capabilities

TweetDeck and People Browsr! Yes folks – it’s true. This week I’ve been chatting it up all over Twitterville with folks about TweetDeck and People Browsr and what I love about both of these applications, is that their Community Managers are in tune to what’s being said about their product and jump in to answer questions and interact with the users of their product. I like that. Very social-like. ;)

Here’s what @richardbarley, Community Manager for @TweetDeck had to say about Twitter multi-account capabilities coming to TweetDeck:

Richard saw my conversation between someone on Twitter about multi accounts in TweetDeck, so he jumped in to answer. Very cool! Thanks Richard!

I had a similarly interactive experience with the fine folks at PeopleBrowsr.com this week regarding the upcoming Twitter multi-account capabilities. Priscilla, from People Browsr, was even gracious enough to comment on my People Browsr blog post.

I am very excited about the changes and new features these two applications are coming up with – my only issue, is deciding which one I will use! I love them both, and I also like Seesmic Desktop.  They each have their own unique features that I like.  I guess I’ll have to rotate between them, because honestly, at this point, it’s too close to call for me.

Which one is your preference: TweetDeck, People Browsr or Seesmic Desktop?

Points for Seesmic Desktop

Last week I posted a video when the new Seesmic Desktop for Twitter was released.  From the start there were things about this new app I liked, and things I didn’t.  As with any new software, there will be bugs – and there were. The biggest that I noticed was that when you set up a Userlist or Search when you closed the program, it did not save the Userlist or Searches you setup. Not good!

However, today a new update was released that fixed this pesky problem, so points for Seesmic Desktop! I’ve highlighted that fix, and a couple other features I like and compared it a bit to TweetDeck.

Let me know if you’ve tried Seesmic Desktop yet and what you think.

Tonight Seesmic unveiled their new Desktop client for Twitter.  For those who have used TweetDeck, this new Adobe Air app from Seesmic will have a few familiar features; such as columns, the ability to group selected followers into ‘Userlists’ and also have columns for specific search phrases too. The user tools such as reply, DM, RT & Other Tools  – Favorite, Add to Userlist (Group in TweetDeck) are still found by mousing over the avatar.

But the best feature is the ability to use multiple Twitter accounts. I hear all the time that this was one major drawback with TweetDeck. TwitPic is supported, as well as ability to capture a live web cam image and upload that from within the app too.

Watch this short video for a quick walk through this cool new Twitter app. Then go download it for yourself and give it a try. Let me know how you like it.  http://desktop.seesmic.com/
