At Seesmic, we work very hard to reach our vision to help users manage their presence online, and we try our best to make Seesmic available on every screen and touch every social network.
Now, we felt it was time to challenge ourselves and make something truly special.
We took an unusual route and shifted paradigms to develop something no one has done before. We were challenged to reach out to an untapped market – a mainstream audience not familiar with Twitter – people in your personal circle like friends or family members (think “Mom” or “Dad”), that heard of Twitter but were never interested, or never had the opportunity to have a positive and friendly experience.
To accomplish this, it was important for us to:
- Offer a fantastic browsing experience, with a visually pleasing and easy to use interface. More importantly, you don’t even have to log in to Twitter to experience it!
- Organize it in a way for users to quickly recognize and connect to their specific interests – be it people or brands – like popular TV shows or companies, celebrities in sports or entertainment, or even leading authorities in news or politics.
- Make available a specific place (a sandlot or plot) where brand channels can connect with their interested audience and offer something more special than what you would normally find when just connected through Twitter.
As such, we are extremely excited to announce a new product that will open the eyes to new users and change the experience of viewing Twitter in real time. This innovative application provides a visually rich and engaging way for users to keep track of the people, topics, news and brands from one of the most popular social networks in Twitter.
