Seesmic Web Manages Contacts Better Than Twitter.com

Seesmic Web, while certainly not perfect, is easily the best Twitter web experience available. Brizzly is nice, and HootSuite is nothing to shake a stick at, but when I'm away from my computer and I want to get online and hit up the Twitters, I go right to Seesmic Web. They pushed an update this week adding a new tab to their interface for Twitter contacts, and compared to Twitter's contact management, it's a total dream. With faster navigation, scrolling, and Mr Tweet stats, and drag and drop list modification, it's far and away the best web offering right now. The contact lists are brand new so it could use some work, but for the most part, it's a much easier and faster way to weed out followees, and manage lists. Head to Seesmic to try it out and sign up. Did I mention it's totally free?

Twitter Announces Rollover Profiles In Hovercards

Not to be undone by other excellent entries in the web-client space such as Seesmic Web and Brizzly, Twitter has been stepping up their game as of late, attempting to keep web users on their site. The latest entry to their feature set is Hovercards.

Users will soon be able to interact with one another without having to head to another users page. Simply hovering over another user's username will produce a hovering card displaying their Twitter vitals, and will even allow for a reply, DM, follow, or turn notifications on/off directly within the card, negating the need to head to the user's page.

The rollout is happening now, but in traditional Twitter fashion, they're pushing it in batches, so not everyone will get it right way. Keep an eye out and let us know if you've got Hovercards and what you think.
