As Twitter clients go, Seesmic is almost always on the top of my list - Seesmic Desktop, their Adobe Air-based Desktop client, has one of the sleekest UI's out there, is one of the most fully-featured desktop Twitter clients and has an almost alarmingly pleasant chime to let you know when you've received new @replies or direct messages.

As good as Seesmic Desktop is, though, Seesmic Web actually manages to be a significantly better Twitter client, for a few simple reasons.

Three Reason Seesmic Web May Just be the Best Twitter Client Out There

1. Seesmic Web is one of the fastest-updated Twitter clients, often among the first to support new Twitter features.

Twitter's seen a slew of new features released lately, including Lists, Retweets (currently still officially in beta), programmatic spam reporting, and embedded geolocational information. Seesmic Web is almost always among the first Twitter clients to support these new features, meaning that Twitter users who use Seesmic Web are usually among the early adopters of these new features. While Twitterriffic or Tweetdeck users are still logging onto the Twitter website to take a gander at the new features, Seesmic Web users are getting to use them right from within their Twitter clients. If you're a Twitter user who likes to stay on the cutting-edge and set trends instead of following them, Seesmic Web is a pretty obvious choice.

2. Seesmic Web is a fully-featured Twitter client that doesn't require any installation or special software whatsoever.

Since it's entirely browser-based, Seesmic Web can run on almost any computer, and runs great in almost every web browser. That means that Twitter users whose office IT departments disallow software installations can still get a fully-featured Twitter client without needing to install any software; it also means that users will never have to update their Twitter clients, will never have to uninstall or reinstall software, and will never be bothered with buggy software, high system resource usage or just about any of the problems that traditionally come with software installations.

3. Seesmic Web just looks great, all the time.

If your Twitter client doesn't look good, you're going to get pretty sick of it pretty quickly. As web-based Twitter clients go Seesmic is almost undoubtedly the best; they've just got a great grasp of how a Twitter client should look and an excellent set of web developers to make sure that the client looks the same, no matter what browser you're using to view it. With just two color schemes to choose from (simply "white" or "black"), Seesmic Web might seem aesthetically simple, but the simplicity is actually somewhat refreshing, given how endlessly configurable some desktop clients can be.

If you're looking around for a good, fully-featured Twitter client, give Seesmic Web a try - especially if you're currently using Twitter.com to do your Tweeting. It only takes seconds to get sign up for a Seesmic Web account (you can log in with your Twitter account to try it out) and the interface is simple and intuitive. Once you've been using Seesmic Web for a while you'll start to wonder how you ever used the Twitter website in the first place.
