MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE =(

Seesmic for Blackberry is probably the worst Twitter app ever. It never worked, it always caused my phone to freeze up. Good riddance.

lol they just said f*** RIM they aint popular nomore

Windows Phone 7 over BlackBerry? Are they joking? I can understand focusing on Android and iOS, but Win7, you have GOT to be kidding me!!!!!

 I think I'll stick with Socialscope on the BB, and Blaq on the PB!

Well, that was blunt. : |

Meh. Personally, I won't miss them. Seesmic has always been the weakest of Twitter clients I've used, especially when compared to UberTwitter (HATE calling it UberSocial). If they feel the need to leave, more power to them.

Their app was rubbish anyway.

I have no idea who they are, but I like the Win7 support. It shows how much money Microsoft is throwing at developers. Picking a user base of less than 2 million over an installed base of over 60 million seems like an odd business step.

I think the underwhelming apps and eventual abandoning of BlackBerry altogether is indicative of all too many developers that produce similar apps on different platforms but their apps on those platforms are so much better and cheaper than what they do for BlackBerry.

If there isn't good developer support for a platform, is it really worth sticking it out for consumers?

Never really worked on my Torch... So I won't miss it at all.

Could this be because OS 6 has all of the features of Seesmic in the social feeds app.

This is a very bad sign, if too many devs jump ship the platform will suffer terribly. BlackBerry doesn't like to admit it, but apps are very important to most smartphone users.

I used Seesmic very briefly when UberSocial was disabled. It was a terrible app! So undeveloped. I'm not surprised that it's on its way out.

I never heard of this company, but I guess this will help get their name in the news today.

I really, really, doubt win mobile will make it as on OS. My guess is MSFT tires to buy RIM after the Nokia phones fail.

^--- you realize Windows Mobile has been around for ages, right? It's on version 7, whereas Blackberry OS is on 6 (the new 7, is really still just 6.1 lol)

Also, who cares about this app? It sucked anyways

This was a really bad app, its like they failed at getting to top used app and then leaves trying to make a big drama about it lol, go as you came... unnoticed.

Tried it a couple of times...meh. Switched to SocialScope and haven't looked back! :)

I've never used their BB client. I used their Web interface briefly on the PlayBook before Blaq was released. More power to them to focus their energies on platforms that may earn them money. As another poster said - They got some free advertisement today from that announcement :)

Here, let me translate. "We built a cr@ppy app for blackberry, and eh, we don't really feel like putting in an effort to fix it"

lol app sucked anyway.... they did themselves a favour.

I really hope they don't think people are gonna switch devices for their app :p

We encourage those effected by this change

If this is the real communication, this guy doesn't even knows English, EFFECTED?
Am I an effected guy or not.

lol no hard feeling...
your app is not popular for a reason

goodbye u wont be missed

Seesmic never worked on my BB either.

Did it ever work properly? Let em go.

Seemsick? Whatis?

So, if you leave: goodbye and take care.
...And in Amsterdam a bicycle fell down...

People are reading this as a negative blow off to RIM, but it could be just that following the earnings call these companies are convinced that QNX will come out sooner rather than later and that it'll run Android, so actually it makes perfect sense to do what they are doing, rather than invest to upgrade the crappy app.

To tell you the truth, given the position RIM is in now I'd think about broadcasting Android usage on PB and the new QNX phones loud and clear. This ability is really going to be a life saver for RIM, i.e., it's OK to buy a BB given all the bad news because it runs Android Apps.

Tonnage, funnage, this ability is essential to RIM going forward. I bet RIM gets a ton a droid fans if they can pull off safely sand-boxed android apps on a secure BB phone.

See who ?

Who cares? I use 3 applications on my Bold 9000, - BeWeather, BB Notepad and Quicklaunch.

Sometimes I use the official Twitter application.

I will say one thing- I don't plan to leave blackberry and when the new phones come out and "if" they are able to run Android apps., you can believe I won't be using any of the developers that are jumping ship!
You are all right- it was a crap app. Ubersocial has it all over them anyway.

so uber and t4bb are free and this app is $2.99 erm ok then maybe i`ll pass this time

Damn, lot of butt hurt people here..LOL
It was a shite app on my 9650.. It however is one of if not the best for the Androids.

That's what happens when RIM releases an official version of the Twitter App, if you can't compete with it why develop a competitor? Not saying having an official RIM app is bad, but that is the outcome.

Actually BB users dropped support for Seesmic because of the crappy app

This app is terrible. They just want some free marketing since the cool thing to do these days is to bash blackberry.

That's okay. The app sucked anyway! Ubersocial is waaaaaaaay better and I also use Twitter for Blackberry.

Have fun with Andoid, iOS and Windows, EH?

People seem very defensive here. I liked Seesmic on my 9700 and sometimes used it just to see something different from time to time. I think to lose one of the precious few developers the BB OS has is a pretty big problem in light of recent events. I really hope the majority of comments for this article aren't representative of the general style of thinking of most BB users. I didn't know we were such a douchey bunch.

By the way, can we please stop talking about QNX like it will save RIM? I don't even know how they're going to implement it on their traditionally small screens effectively. I also wonder if anything will help BBs at this point without any apps. Running Android apps doesn't seem like much of a solution to me. I'll believe it'll run smoothly when I see it. If we have an all touch QNX BB with no apps, how will it be more attractive than an iPhone or Android device? Security? BBM? Good luck trying to put lipstick on that huge, ugly pig.

mmm seesmic isnt bad on other platforms... therefore it seems its either the development tools for BB making it diffult (a lil unlikely), or they never really cared (likely).

Well, in the end its not a good message nonetheless that they seem not to bother about BBs.

Never even heard of this company before reading this write up so no big deal here. But I'm sure all the nay sayers will be all over this as another sign that RIM is headed downhill. Oh well, it is what it is. I like my Blackberry, it does everything I need it to & my Playbook should be here tomorrow & I can't wait for that either. Again, cell phones are a "to each their own" market, some people blindly love apple, others adroid, here it's Blackberry, deal with it people, all in all it's just a phone (or a tablet) & in the end it doesn't define who you are.

HAHAHAHA!!! THIS JUST MEANS, ONE MORE TIME THAT: BLACKBERRY REALLY SUUUCKSSSS!!! HAHAHA!!! IM SO CHANGING TO AN IPHONE 4S WHEN SPRINT FINALLY GETS IT SOMETIME THIS YEAR... SORRY BLACKBERRY I GAVE TO MANY OPPORTUNITIES AND YOU HAVE PROVEN A COMPLETE FAILURE. WHAT A PITTY...

Well, although I absolutely Love theire Desktop App, and also love the Look and Feel of there Android and iOS App I was really excited to see them Coming to BlackBerry OS.

However as Soon as they arrived the Usability wasn't by far what I expected from those guys and even the Look and Feel wasn't even close to what I've seen on other Platforms, which I really found a bummer.

Well, it's good they left, cause they couldn't live up to the expectations, now I hope they start developing Tablet Optimized Apps ;). Like getting used to QNX so they have one step ahead when BlackBerry Devices are on QNX =).

We speak about a company which first was a video like comment system as Disqus but only with video. They failed.
Then they tried to develop consumer social client software. They failed.
And now, they are moving on a "only for business" client.

So it is just a matter of time before they stop supporting iPhone due to the competition and then they will disappear.

No ?

Why all that noise about this company ?

Seesmic? Sorry, who are they? I can say that on all my FB/Twitter feeds its either Ubersocial or Hootsuite.

seesmic is my favo twitter app on my blackberry.
Looks best of every twitter app that is out there!
Only a few features are missing but i could live with that.
If the developing of seesmic really stops, i go back using Ubersicial couse this one has al the features that i need.

Meh, who needs them. We have great apps for blackberry. Now let me get back to playing, angry farm animals, cut the cord and tiny arms.

aurevoir a--holes! F U seesmic, dicks

sicks apps,

Damn, too bad, I use Seesmic on both my Android and BB phones (as well as on my PC via Adobe AIR) and they work just fine. There aren't that many good Twitter/FB apps for BB to begin with.

What is it? Who are they? Is there a reason that I care?

ok here i go i never write comments ,but i have to get this out of my chest im a harcore fan of bb i have had a 9700 bold for 2 yrs the bb in my opinion try the torch the phone just sucks just really sucks sorry i try to defend bb all the time but i just cant . im done the new torch is the same crap but faster . guys other platforms are just way better and that is the truth. only bb lovers will stick around i have been one of them but i have had it im done . there is just the same is like apple you have to get a new device every year . im sick and tire of this crap and always having to wait month and months for a new device after the announce it they sound like f------g nokia. sorry i have love my bb but im done for you bb lover keep trying to cover the sky with one hand is not going to happen bb is out period so is done i will keep my 9700 for back up in case . but thats it doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
