Worked great for a couple days then it quit. Went back to the Air app until they release a more stable version.

The home timeline only includes my tweets… nothing from the people I follow. One of my lists does display properly, but not the other.

Ah well, ’tis a beta I guess.

AIR 1.0 was something new — using webdev techniques to create desktop applications for Mac/Win/Lin, with privileges (storage, interapp communication, notifications) beyond those in browsers. A new endeavor.

AIR 2.0 builds upon this beachhead, adding additional beyond-the-browser features, while optimizing the 1.0 experience. Memory & performance still require developer attention, but the architecture now makes this easier.

(I ignored Simon on the first go-round, because such whinging seems a major contributor to the “bloat and performance problems” of modern weblogs…. ;-)

We are going to release updates to Seesmic for Windows on a very fast pace and it will catchup and exceed very soon our current Seesmic Desktop in features.

So I am back to the old Version of Seesmic desktop, which is cool
until thay make a version that is really an improvement.

Currently using Tweetdeck as well. I haven’t had the issues that others seem to be having with AIR – but I could see switching to Seesmic/Windows fulltime.

Oddly enough, my program of choice right now is sobees. It’s a bit buggy, but has all of the features I need and runs in a very clean interface. I’m amazed it’s not getting more press.

I wrote quite a comparison yesterday of all of the major apps. Similar thoughts, but a different conclusion:
