Seesmic Desktop Now Available As A Native Windows Client

Windows: If you’ve wanted a desktop-based Twitter client but were shying away because most were built with Adobe Air and you’re not a fan, Seesmic Desktop is now available as a native Windows client.

For the unfamiliar, desktop-based Twitter clients bring an increased level of functionality to your Twitter use right to your computer as an application as opposed to using the relatively feature-bare Twitter interface or a web-based alternative. Seesmic Desktop for Windows includes many of the popular features from the Adobe Air version as well as some new features.

Seesmic Desktop for Windows supports new Twitter features like Twitter lists with drag and drop manipulation and geolocation. It has support for plugins and extensibility like Firefox to allow for integration with popular third-party Twitter services including Tweetmeme and MrTweet. Seesmic Desktop for Windows does not currently support Facebook as the Adobe Air version does but will shortly.

You’ll need to visit the link below and sign up for beta testing to access the Windows client. Confirm your registration and within a minute or two you’ll receive an email with a download link for the beta client. It’s within 24 hours of the beta launch so be patient if the download link times out a few times before connecting.

Seesmic Desktop Beta for Windows is Windows only. Seesmic also has a web and Adobe Air based Twitter client. Have a Twitter client or tool you can’t live without? Let’s hear about it in the comments.
