• Photos are enlarged in tweet/post details (Twitter/Instagram/Twitpic/yFrog)

• You can now configure to hide/show avatars
• You can now configure to show in absolute time
• Ads are repositioned to improve the user experience, including placing ads on the bottom and removing ads from the Twitter mentions timeline

Updates for Twitter:

• You can view a favorite/star icon in timeline

• You can now view if “the user does (or does not) follow you” in Profile Details

• #Hashtags are now included when replying

Updates for Facebook: You are now able to see who liked a post.

Updates to the Widget: You can now disable/enable auto scrolling in the widget.

Obviously these updates are live on the Seesmic Pro application as well (except for the ads).

Please continue to give us your feedback!

As you might have heard, we are about to close Ping.fm. We’ve built its successor, Seesmic Ping, which is more reliable, stable and robust, providing more features and focusing on the most popular services. Here’s what’s currently featured in Seesmic Ping:

• Post from iPhone, iPad and Android
• Post via email
• Post and schedule to multiple Twitter, Facebook (Pages & Profiles) and LinkedIn accounts (we’ve just added Tumblr)
• Quickly and easily schedule posts to be sent at a future date and time
• Create groups to send a combination of services.
• Share multiple kinds of content: share links as attachments for Facebook, Linkedin and Tumblr; share photos or images (post pictures on Facebook and Twitter as if you were posting them “natively”)
• View thumbnails of your images to ensure you know exactly what you are sharing
• Preview and select thumbnails for attached links
• View the history of your recent posts
• View, edit or delete your scheduled posts
• Bookmarklet for easy posting

And here are some features that you will be able to use on your Windows desktop:

• Click and drag images onto the composer (you can also do a right click on the image file and “Share with Seesmic Ping”)
• Click and drag links onto the composer
• Spell check support
• Keyboard shortcuts
• Bookmarklet: automatically attach links with a single button
• Minimize to System Tray: closing the app will minimize to the System Tray for easy access. Ctrl + Shift + P activates and brings the app to the front

New features coming:

• Post via RSS
• Customize group targets for email posting and RSS
• Metrics
• And more…

When will Ping.fm no longer be supported?

We will close down Ping.fm by mid-June. We’ve been working hard to get Seesmic Ping on par with the Ping.fm service you are used to.  So from the get-go you should enjoy a great experience when switching to Seesmic Ping, and it will only get better from there. So right now, we encourage you to get your Seesmic Profile and try Seesmic Ping through our mobile, desktop or web applications.  If you want to do it directly from your Ping.fm account, just log in: we’ve just put in place a special Ping.fm wizard that will smoothly take you through the process.

Pricing

There will be three plans for Seesmic Ping: a free plan, so that everyone gets a chance to enjoy it, a $4.99/month plan for the ones who want to get more, and a $49.99 for the ones who just want it all.  We will start charging for the service after the beta period, and more details will be provided by the time we officially launch in June.

API developers

As part of our service, we have a Seesmic Ping API available in private beta.  If you want to learn more about it, please contact SeesmicPingAPI@seesmic.com. We will provide more details on our plans (features, pricing, etc.) for the Seesmic Ping API soon.

We hope that we’ll make the Ping.fm community happy with the new service we’ve been working on. If you have any question or comment, feel free to contact us: pingfm@seesmic.com

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy Seesmic Ping.

All the best,

The Seesmic Team

We are happy to announce today  that you are now able to use Groups with Seesmic Ping for Android and iOS (iPhone & iPad).

Here is a quick reminder of what the Group feature allows you to do:

You can create and send messages to a group of target accounts of Facebook, Facebook Pages, multiple Twitter accounts, multiple Tumblr accounts, and LinkedinView. Groups allow you to send the appropriate types of messages, links and photos to the accounts you gathered.

For Android, we also added the ability to preview and choose a thumbnail for url links for Facebook and Linkedin:

Cross posting has never been so easy!

Enjoy,

The Seesmic Team

As we won’t be supporting Seesmic CRM going forward, we are thrilled that DoubleDutch will be proposing its great mobile CRM solution to the users and companies we have been working with on Seesmic CRM over the past few months.

DoubleDutch’s mobile CRM solution, Hive, allows companies to engage and manage their sales teams directly via their mobile devices.  Already used by more than 200 curtomers, Hive is a complete solution for Sales Reps, Account Managers and Sales Managers, and also includes a strong analytics and management console.

We hope that all Seesmic CRM users will find with DoubleDutch the mobile CRM solution that will best fit their needs, and we know they will find a great support from the DoubleDutch Team.

Best,

The Seesmic Team.

Groups is the newest cool feature for Seesmic Ping that goes one step further making cross-posting easy. You are now able to create and send messages to a group of target accounts of Facebook, Facebook Pages, multiple Twitter accounts, multiple Tumblr accounts, and Linkedin.

See how simple it is to create such a group:

… how useful it is to be able to easily pick up the right group:

… how fast it is to edit groups if you need to:

… and eventually to post:

You have the ability to create and schedule messages, links and images to different groups for your various businesses (as shown - Takoyaki Cart’s Twitter Account, Tumblr Account and Facebook Page). Hence, for example, you can send the appropriate types of messages, links and photos to your group of accounts for your personal (Twitter and Facebook wall) or professional brand (Twitter, Linkedin and Tumblr).

Groups are already available on the web client and  will be available on the mobile very soon.

We hope that you will love this feature: it will make your life on social platforms even smoother.

Happy cross posting!

We want to share with you some very exciting updates, as well as our upcoming plans. We’ve been grateful for the support from users like you, and will continue to look forward to working with you to help deliver our products. If there was one word to describe our direction, it’s “focus.” We’re very thrilled and determined to offer you products that make sharing simple yet powerful.

Updates to Seesmic for Android
For one of our most popular products, Seesmic for Android, we’ve recently released updates, with much more to come. We’re finding much more success with the addition of Seesmic Pro at an introductory price of $2.99, which keeps the app ad-free and with additional features such as a combined view and preview support for Instragram images. It’s been one of the top paid apps in the social category and we’ve been very pleased with the release.

These updates allow us to provide more features for both the free and pro version. Our focus will be to consistently iterate and provide users value to one of the most recommended android apps for Twitter and Facebook. Look for many more features to come!

Seesmic Ping: We’ve added Tumblr! And more coming soon!
Since the release of Seesmic Ping, a successor to Ping.fm, we’ve been very focused on delivering powerful yet simple features that help make sharing easy.

We’re happy to share that we’ve just added Tumblr across our Seesmic Ping products on the web, iPhone, iPad and Android. You can now add Tumblr, along with your Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook and Facebook pages to your Seesmic Profile from Seesmic.com, and send messages from your iPhone, iPad and Android as well as email and from the web!

With the addition of Tumblr and other features, we actually surpass many features that Ping.fm provides. With Seesmic Ping, you can do the following:

·    Post messages from iPhone, iPad and Android
·    Post simultaneously to the top social networks (Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, Tumblr)
·    Post to multiple Twitter & Tumblr accounts as well as multiple Facebook pages
·    Post links, photos & images
·    Schedule your posts at any time
·    View, edit and delete your list of scheduled posts
·    View your history of sent posts
·    Preview and select thumbnails for your attached links
·    Ability to schedule updates
·    Bookmarklet on the web for easy posting
·    Send posts by email
·    Developer API (currently in closed beta) to create plugins or widgets

And we’re not stopping yet. Big features coming soon include:
·    Ability to create posting groups
·    Ability to support multiple RSS feeds
·    And soon metrics!

Clearly, we’re not stopping one bit and continuing to work hard to deliver a product and service we can all value.
In order to continue this rapid pace, once we have these features in place, we’ll be offering Seesmic Ping as a paid service after the beta period, which allows us to provide more features and continually improve the product. We’re looking forward to building the product with our users.

And to keep our focus on our core products and reset our priorities, it’s important for us to give closure to a few of our other products. In the coming weeks, we’ll coordinate the sunset of Seesmic Web, Seesmic Desktop 2, Seesmic iPhone, along with Ping.fm once we have our features in place.

With providing a paid service and focusing on our core products, we’re looking forward with confidence in building a product that makes sharing easy and reliable. Feel free to try Seesmic Ping and to download our apps and please don’t hesitate to give us your feedback.

Best,

The Seesmic Team
