Seesmic’s social networking app for iPhone has been updated to 1.2, including a handful of new features. The big one is the ability to post to Facebook Pages that you administrate, but there’s also new language support for Japanese, Spanish, German, and French, and image previews in tweets. They’ve changed how they’ve handled big gaps in timeline refreshes.
Seesmic started out as a web Twitter client, then expanded to mobile and various other social networks, like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare. Its biggest competitor is HootSuite, which specializes in enterprise-grade social networking, complete with scheduled posting and metrics. Seesmic acquired Ping.fm awhile back which gives it a bit of an edge; with it, you can update several networks with similar content all at once.
Personally, I tend to stick with official Twitter and Facebook clients when available since they’re the first to update with new features, but in Twitter’s case for BlackBerry, it still lacks simple stuff like geotagging your own tweets and support for multiple accounts. For those features, I would consider switching to a third-party app.
