New Seesmic For BlackBerry, No Ping Integration
When Seesmic and Ping.fm merged last month they promised a new version of the application with Ping.fm features included. Yesterday I checked in on how they were doing and lo and behold a new version of Seesmic was released last month. That is the good news. The bad news is that unfortunately it does not include the cross network posting of Ping.fm.
The new release, version 1.2.19, does bring Seesmic closer to the amazing set of features in ÜberTwitter‘s most recent release, but still falls short of the features and ease of use that make ÜberTwitter my favorite Twitter client for the BlackBerry. None of Seesmic’s features are ground breaking so I won’t describe them. The following chart will let you know all you need about why ÜberTwitter remains my choice. The upgrade does give me hope that the version of Seesmic that does include Ping.fm’s cross posting functionality will be feature rich and a worthy competitor in this space.
