Seesmic acquires Twhirl, as it continues to grow beyond being just a Twitter client
Popular video microblogging company Seesmic has just announced it’s acquisition of the Twitter client Twhirl; or rather hired the developer that created it.
This comes with the news that Seesmic will now be integrated in a future version of Twhirl.
And not only that, another reason for buying it was that:
Twhirl not only posts on Twitter but also on Pownce and Jaiku, with more services coming soon
More services! Yes, this continues to position Twhirl as the most powerful microblogging client out there. I’m just hoping that the new version also allows selective updates to each service, rather than just broadcast mode.
Sadly, this news is tempered by scuttlebutt in the Twitter’verse suggesting that the latest version of Twhirl is rather broken. So maybe don’t upgrade or adopt it just yet.
I haven’t had any problems with the latest update – in fact, it fixed the icons which hadn’t been showing up in the previous one.
@Matt – yeah, I’ve upgraded Twhirl without incident too
