I love xeeku on my droid, but when tweetdeck gets one, it’ll be a tough call…

Randolph Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:41:47 +0000 http://blog.tweetworks.com/?p=477#comment-295 really good post. I am a longtime tweetdeck user and still prefer it to seesmic, hootsuite et al on the desktop. when I started on the Droid, however, I found a new client called xeeku that provided a highly usable interface and incorporated twitter lists, which early leader twitdroid did not. listerine solved the issue I had with populating my twitter lists painlessly. I will probably try out the seesmic product soon, but am a little dismayed by a comment I saw that the Droid version lacked several features that made the desktop model unique...but if, as you describe, seesmic opens to plugins, that situation will be remedied soon. thanks for the analysis - I have upgraded your category status from amiable lunch companion to platform savant. :) really good post.

I like your "who will replace the loser?" question. That's a smart way of looking at it because there is always something new and you never know which new thing will challenge the existing players.

I am looking forward to seeing what's next. Healthy competition breeds newness and continued vibrancy. Keep up the great work. I agree, there is plenty of room for everyone.

To me the question isn't so much "who will win, Seesmic or Tweetdeck?" but "who is going to replace the loser(s), and what is the new special sauce they bring?". I think the OS market has shown that a consistently innovating minority share can by some measures "win" even when the competition dominates the market.

There is room for everyone in the space. As far as our 2009 is concerned, remember we were ONLY doing video and Twhirl was "just" an addon to help video grow so it took us some time to completely change focus. Now we are full speed, expect lots of news and more. Mike, thanks for your kind words. There is room for everyone in the space.
