They lost me at "Publisher: UNKOWN, System Access: UNRESTRICTED."
Seriously?
Wake me when they get a real SSL/TLS certificate.

Seesmic is smart to essentially be re-branding Twhirl as Seesmic Desktop. Both SD and TweetDeck now also have Facebook integration (or, SD will soon), and FB is the much more mainstream app. TweetDeck will have a hard time crossing over w/out a name change imo.

I'm wondering how competition will play out between apps like TweetDeck and Seesmic Desktop. I'd say the majority of users of both are very much in the tech-savvy early adopter segment, so are likely to be very fickle with such a high buyer bargaining power. How much brand loyalty can TweetDeck expect?

Ah... that was a good explanation. Thank you. When you put it like that it makes perfect sense. I suppose time will tell on TweetDeck. I don't leave it open all the time so I never noticed the problem to begin with...

Nambu (http://www.nambu.com/) is a great native Mac OS X (10.5) client... been using it for a week a really like it. A few little glitches but they are being ironed out pretty quickly. Has a lot of the same features as TweetDeck... so you don't miss out on much if you make the move.

Nice to know that the memory issue has been fixed :)

LOL ... I'm loss in word here. My first thought when I wrote the comment was that there are a lot of misconception about memory leak. Most user assume that high memory consumption is memory leak. It might not be memory leak that causing large usage but just caching to decrease memory swapping. So instead of explaining to regular user about the complexity of programming term and algorithm. They just announce that the memory leak is fix and usage is down and capped.

I believe that TweetDeck developer are a great programmer and they must have a reason to program something that accumulate 1.5gb overtime. I used an app to do a simple call to garbage collect memory in tweetdeck and in a short time the memory goes back to 1.5gb.When I run it for instance in Firefox where real memory leak happen it never go back up as fast as TweetDeck. So I'm "guessing" they use the memory to cache something. So by caching, their intention must to improve performance. Thus the reason why I hope it does not degrade performance with the memory leak fix.

I hope the explanation is good enough. We are talking based on my assumption and I don't think that it is going anywhere without working knowledge on how TweetDeck is implemented.

Its nice to see that Tweet Deck is solving the Memory problem! When I run Zone Alarm and Tweet Deck (both memory hogs) at the same time for a long period of time my computer always crashes.

One thing I would like to see for Tweet Deck is the ability to transfer Groups to multiple computers.

Thank God for that. I've seen Tweetdeck eat up 1GB of RAM.

Matt Shaulis — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:53:43 -0000

Shouldn't a memory leak fix do nothing but improve performance? Kind of the whole point? Is there an instance where a memory leak being fixed had an adverse effect on performance? It's almost like saying "I hope losing weight doesn't make me heavier." But I don't know... I'd love to take this opportunity to learn something new. :)

P.S. the group management in Seesmic Desktop is atrocious, leaving everything to be desired save the feature itself.

Can you adjust the font size like you can in twhirl yet?

I really hope they include the new crow icon that was in the pre-release version. the old icon really sucks

Score. Just when I was considering switching they come back with this. Nice job Tweetdeck guys...especially with the memory leak fixing.

Great news about the memory leak fix. I hope it does not degrade the performance.

I recently moved to Seesmic Desktop mainly because it has better group management and it seems the memory consumption is a bit lower. TweetDeck use up to 1.5gb on my pc and that is just too much.

I really like the Facebook integration on TweetDeck :).

I was wondering about the memory issue. Cool.

Seesmic's new AIR application may be a TweetDeck killer. The ability to have multiple Twitter accounts and unlimited windows / columns is very cool.

My killer app, however, is HootSuite.
