Seesmic

Control multiple Twitter accounts at the same time to stay constantly in touch 



One of the better Twitter clients in the market - it's free and allows you to manage multiple accounts.

Free Handle all your networks from one app   

f there's a glut of anything on the Android Market it is Twitter applications. Not only is there the official Twitter app, but a number of third-party applications that will let you access Twitter on your mobile, along with a number of other social-networking sites.

Seesmic is one of the better Twitter clients on the market and it is one of the few that is free and allows you to manage multiple accounts. Instead of being a lite version of Twitter, where all you get is a steady flow of updates, Seesmic allows you to see all your Twitter time lines in one stream and allows one-click replies to fellow tweeters.

One of the best things is the ability to share images. This is a major bugbear with some apps on the market, but Seesmic has links to yFrog.TwitPic and even YouTube.

new one directly from the widget. This means that there's no actual need to open the 1.2MB application.

Like all Twitter apps, there are a few problems. This is mostly with updates. We looked at our @ reply section on a number of occasions and found there were missing replies. We also found that if you go out of the app, then back in, your position on the timeline isn't saved, which is a touch annoying, and there were a number of stability issues.

Regardless, Seesmic is feature rich and despite at times being unreliable, it is one of the best Twitter apps around.
