App looks great. Very polished looking interface for sure. If I was not holding my Android device I would think I was looking at an iPhone app. I am hoping that they can improve this one with the addition of search and list support. If they add these features I think I will be making to move from Tridroid.

And I replied to the e-mail in a positive way. As for the public shouting, all I'll say is that there's nothing telling me when I click on the link whether I'm getting a review or a press release.

I see that you took my advice and added a note that the text was taken from the developer's website, though...Thanks!!

We responded to these comments in an email to you. THIS IS NOT A REVIEW. Look at the top of the post and you will see that this is SOFTWARE NEWS and ANNOUNCEMENTS. Don't threaten to quit visiting us every single time you come away less than 100% satisfied. Just quit.

This post is intended to alert people as to what is new in Android. Nowhere in here is it implied or otherwise mentioned that this is a review. In fact, we even call out a shortcoming regarding widgets.

Wow...is this a review or a press release? The word "we" is used at least once in the article (I stopped reading at that point), so it seems that it was written by the developers. This may be the last straw for me and this site. If you're going to print press releases prepared by the developers as regular posts, it would seem that you'd at least post a notice telling us that's what it is. Instead, the average reader is going to assume that they're reading an unbiased review, when nothing could be further from the truth. Fail.

There are a couple apps that I think are just as good but the thing that will keep me from choosing Seesmic at the moment is the font size. Way too small. The other apps I use are much easier to read. I like Swift and one called Peep.

Swift gets my vote over Seesmic... more polished.

I have been using this app all day and I'm definitely switching from Swift to the new Seesmic app. Can't wait to see what updates the company as in store.

It's a close call right now between this app, Twidroid and Swift. But if Loic comes through with lists and Facebook integration that he said are coming, Seesmic is going to be pretty darn cool...
