Twitter App Seesmic enfolds on the latest updates of operating systems, releasing Seesmic for Android after previous improvements for Seesmic Desktop 2. Version 1.6 of Seesmic for Android features complete Facebook support with Facebook pages enabling users to add one or multiple Facebook accounts, view updates, comments, likes, post to your accounts as well as to all the Facebook pages you administer. Users can exceed the 140 characters permitted per tweet (for now), view when tweets are retweeted and comments inline when tapping on an update.
Salesforce makes a powerful comeback with its Salesforce Chatter plugin in public beta. By tying Chatter into Seesmic Desktop, the content from social networks like Twitter or Linkedin can now be seamlessly shared to your workforce via Chatter, in a single click. The plugin enables users to view updates about the people, groups and records you follow, create posts with photos, links or text and share them to Chatter, find, join and follow people within your organization and comment on their activity in stream.
Salesforce is following the footprints of Facebook, which has signed up 500,000 users worldwide with its real-time collaboration, as well as feeds and status updates. Chatter hopes to achieve a service as comprehensive and successful. Speaking of Facebook’s strategies, it is worth mentioning its latest acquisition of Beluga, a group texting service that offers users free sharing of text updates and photos with a select group of recipients through a smartphone application. This acquisition has a real potential of shaking the stability of mobile phone carriers own initiatives.
Going back to social media benchmarks, we must note Twitter’s aggressiveness towards third party apps that use its name, being fully aware of such competitors’ capabilities. Former collaborator of Twitter, UberMedia, the creator of UberTwitter, Twidroyd and UberCurrent, banned the former two apps for ‘violating the company’s API policies’. After two days of suspended activity, UberMedia took the two apps through a makeover in accordance with Twitter’s policies and sent them out online and UberMedia changed its name to UberSocial.
