I have been using tweetdeck and agree that a left bar navigation would be more user friendly for me. I want to try Hootsuite as well, but seem to have problems each time on the down load. Seismic sounds worth a try.

Another tool I use for tracking (not posting exactly) comments and tweets would be Xeesm.com which is a social relationship manager. Its in Beta right now, but with it I can keep all my social media links in one place, I can sign my comments with it and find all my comments on blogs, articles and ezines posts. The future expansion of this SRM would be something to pay attention to.

Hi Jaime,

Not sure what version of Seesmic Desktop you're using, but you can Follow/Unfollow direct from the app. Also, block and report spam. The latest build is v.05, you might want to check – even the two previous versions had Follow/Unfollow built in.

For everyone disappointed in Seesmic Desktop's lack of follow/unfollow button --

You can do this through Twitter's built-in text commands from within Seesmic Desktop. Simply type "Follow username" into Seesic's status update bar (replacing "username" with the real person's username, of course).

Here's a complete list of Twitter's text commands:

All of these should work from within Seesmic.

Unfortunately both tweetdeck and seesmic take a lot of resources – my computer is slowing to a crawl when I run either one. I'm upgrading my computer next month – I'll try it again then. thanks

Take a look at an outlook plugin :

I really like Tweetdeck. It is more user friendly. I am sure now that Seesmic is out there, they will update it and add the same features and then some. Twitter is here to stay (for at least a few months, which may be an eternity in the technology world)

I agree with RKW, the unfollow/follow requirement meant that I had to go back to Tweetdeck although I like the interface of Seesmic better but after trying both, I find Tweetdeck slightly more user friendly but I am sure Seesmic will catch up and when they do, I will use that instead.
