Hands On with Seesmic Desktop: A Flexible, Customizable Twitter Client

The sheer number of desktop Twitter clients available is staggering, and each of them offer different sets of features. But if you're looking for a Twitter client that hits the sweet spot between features and flexibility, sign up for the beta of Seesmic Desktop. Built by the makers of Twhirl, Seesmic Desktop has been making waves on the Web with people who have tried it, and I'm no exception. The app is free, runs in Adobe AIR, and manages to retain its simplicity and ease-of-use while simultaneously being customizable.Seesmic Desktop isn't as streamlined and simple as its little brother Twhirl, but also isn't as difficult to use and customize as TweetDeck. The app allows you to create multiple columns for all of your incoming tweets, your replies, your direct messages, and any user groups you create. Seesmic Desktop can also easily manage multiple Twitter accounts.
