Wow, this is a solid partnership right here. Seesmic is a twitter client available for Android and BlackBerry, with a long history in desktop apps. Ping.fm is what you might call a meta-sharing service, which allows you post status updates, pictures, bookmarks, and blog entries to multiple social networks in one go. Mix the two together, and you’ve got a whole lot of mobile social networking. Seesmic is still relatively new to the mobile app side of things, but this kind of acquisition could give them the boost they need to duke it out with established players. As a dedicated twitter client, this is a great way for Seesmic to spread its tendrils into the endless online networks available. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the BlackBerry app evolves in the next couple of months, and could very well replace UberTwitter as my client of choice.
