Loic Le Meur launched Seesmic Desktop at TechCrunch Real-Time Stream conference today. It is a desktop client front end and aggregator for Twitter and Facebook. Basically it aggregates all your Twitter posts, replies, private messages, and Facebook posts and friend streams, and presents them in separate columns on one window. You can also post to Twitter or Facebook directly from the desktop.
Seesmic also includes a search capability for Twitter so that you can monitor names, hash tags, products, or anything in near real time. Imagine you are a product manager or competitive analyst and want to follow activity and sentiment about your products or competitors. Seesmic makes it easy.
Here is a screenshot. Note that you can arrange the columns in any order, resize them, individually scroll each one, and have as many columns open as you like. Also note the first two columns in the screenshot are from Twitter, the third from Facebook, and the fourth column from Twitter.
Seesmic is probably more well known for its super simple video chat service that allows you to capture video from your laptop or phone and immediately post it to the web. It allows video chats between multiple people that can be near real time, and preserved for later viewing.
Loic Le Meur says they have a completely web based version in the works, in fact he demoed it at the conference. This means no client download required, and the ability to use it on any device that supports a browser…like your Smartphone.
