Facebook & Twitter: Holding Hands in Seesmic Desktop 0.2.0

First of all, What Is Seesmic Desktop?
Seesmic Desktop is one of the desktop clients for Twitter. What does desktop client do? Instead of us logging in everytime through the Twitter official site, which could be cumbersome sometimes, desktop clients make us life easier by allowing us to tweet over our PC desktop. Think of it as a twitter messenger. Efficient and easy to operate.
Let’s make Twitter + Facebook all in ONE place!
The process is similar to how you setup your Twitter account in Seesmic Desktop:
1. In the configuration bar, go to ‘Accounts‘, click the ‘+‘ to bring up the ‘Add your Facebook account‘ command box.
2. You will be asked to verify your Facebook account by key in your email add & password.
3. Then, the following confirmation boxe(s) will appear for Seesmic to remember your facebook account while allowing status updates etc be done through it.
4. There! You’re good to go. Account switching between Twitter and Facebook is now applicable in Seesmic Desktop. You could even have a split screen for the both.
So here is my most recent status-update for Facebook, via Seesmic.
For those who have yet to try Seesmic Desktop, you can download the application here. Good news is: No compulsory sign-ups for new users to download the latest version.
Other updated features from version 0.1.2 are as follow:
a) Following/Unfollowing Twitter users
b) Larger fonts
c) Ability to favourite tweets & Facebook posts
d) Configuration-shortcut button replacing the search tool (moved to upper right corner)
So, how have you enjoyed your Twitter/Facebook integration so far? Do you have further expectations? Love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing another very informative post. Have a blessed week.
Hey CY
Well since you know that I am not that great with technology and stuff may be you could just tell me what is seesmic desktop and its uses…
Sorry, Your first comment and it is a question from a guy who has no idea about these things…
Your posts are getting better and better with regarding the info that you provide and I can say that cause it got me interested…
Hi Salute,
Always a pleasure to see you here. Thanks for your comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the info.
Hey Mukund,
Nice to see you again.
Sorry, my mistake. ^^ I should be more descriptive about the application first before I jump right in the good news. My bad, guess I’m just overly excited.
No problem, I think you got the perfect point. I appreciate your reminder and will be more thoughtful next time before my posting. You’ve been really generous in your comment, my gratitude for your support, and kind words.
Thanks guys. Your comments brighten up my days.
Thanks to Mukund for his suggestion, I’ve finally updated a little piece of Seesmic Desktop intro. Hope that will help. Thanks again, pal.
Wow! It's a great finding indeed. Now we have integration between Twitter & Facebook, may be in the future we have integration between Twitter & MySpace/Friendster. Thanks for the great info.
Hi Money4Invest,
Yes indeed. It’s a new evolution for Facebook. At least we could see them both going hand in hand in this application, for now.
Open Steam API may continue to bring surprises to Facebook users.. let’s just hope it’s all for the goodness sake– Greater power, greater responsibilities. (sounds familiar?)
Hey Cy thanks for the update…
This might just be the thing for a lazy bum like me, who doesn’t visit these social networking sites that often just because they ask for logins everytime (I also have a problem remebering userids and passwords)… hehe…
And for this particular reason I agree with money4 that they should integrate everything in one, just for my sake may be…
I haven’t tried the Facebook feature of seesmic, but I’m using twitter custom groups and filters liberally. New fonts are so soothing to eyes in this new version.
Your blog is transforming into hub of social media tools reviews and social media tips. I’m loving it.
Mukund,
That’s everybody’s dream, really. Which is why some social media sites allowing Open IDs be created to login. Another solution: password memory. I haven’t use it yet but some have suggested it to me. Hope it’s useful and secured enough.
Rajeev,
Right on. I’m glad the fonts are enlarged. And finally, the ‘favor item’ option is enabled! Yay!
To have your recognition it’s a great honour. I’ve learnt a lot from you, and hopefully this site will continue to improve. I’m so greatly lacking, couldn’t do anything without everyone’s great ideas and suggestions.
My heartfelt gratitude to all of Social@Blogging Tracker’s readers.
Any program that makes life more simple and effective is one that should be looked into. This Desktop seems to be made for consumption by all of us social media people who spend a large majority of our time communicating on the net. Again this should just make it that more easier to navigate both facebook and twitter. My hat goes off to you for a very informational post .
I have been hearing a lot of buzz about Seesmic Desktop but hadn’t gotten around to checking out what it does. Thanks for this beautiful, high-quality exploration of what it does. I’m subscribed for more.
Thank you so much Bunk,
It’s an innovation of social networking. Every gadget seems trying to be more powerful, and cater for all their users’ needs. Sometimes, I do miss the simplicity of just 1 gadget for one-use. But it does help FB in my case, since I seldom log in before this. =P
You got a nice blog there. Any guy who’s into some Manhood advise should have a visit.
HI Brett,
It’s an honour to have you here. You’re indeed a socialmedia rockstar! Love your posts and thank you for your enlightening piece this morning that makes me got on my feet, and keep going!
You’re most welcome. And can’t thank you enough for supporting my little blog. I’m still learning, hopefully will bring more useful info to everyone interested in social media/blogging. Thanks again, Brett. ^^
Ching Ya,
Thanks for sharing, I have this program called Event Box for Mac but I don’t really use it as often as I’d like. With all the options out there, what helps you to focus on the essentials?
Hi Miguel,
You've brought up a very good question. This has always been a challenge for me, with new applications emerging and all.
For me,it's the continuous research & trials that got me convinced on the effectiveness of one service. Always on the lookout for the updates, and users' reviews on the gadget. Usually that'll take days, even weeks..
Nonetheless, my opinion is that all social media requires a massive amount of involvement, and the results differ from one user to another. We just have to trust our judgement that this application could work better for us in the long run, so our focus will be how to maximize its use and have proper time management. We can't have them all,but certainly can work on the potential ones and plan our strategy. Third party services like EventBox or Ping.fm could help us to some extent, but then reliability is another issue until we're truly convinced.
I can say it's a never ending story for all social media junkie like us. At least integration is starting to happen now, hopefully it'll make our lives alot easier, not the opposite. But, we'll see.
P/S: Heard some compliments about EventBox, sadly unable to try it since not using Mac. If you ever get to use it, I'd love to know how it turns out. Thanks in advance. ^^
Ching Ya,
Thanks for the thorough response, appreciate your interaction here.
Yeah, I haven’t used it lately but maybe I’ll get a chance over the weekend? Must stay on top of studying Hebrew as an exam approaches. Cheers!

All the best in your exam, Miguel. You got my full moral support on this. ^^ Exams.. Can’t remember when was the last time I had one. But I still having dreams of sitting one occasionally. Not saying I’m enjoying any bit of it.
Best wishes to all who is/will be sitting for exams.
This blog will be SO HELPFUL to me! Thank you. I will read it ALL
