Twitter client with Facebook support: Seesmic DESKTOP

Posted by runebune on June 3, 2009


Seesmic DESKTOP
Help Desk

This is one of the best twitter clients I have used for my windows desktop, and then again, I have not used twitter that long. I tried just a few (round 5 clients on windows 4 on S60), and I must say that Seesmic was the winner for me at the windows platform. This was because it scales nice and intergrade facebook notifications and other features.

It also support mutiple twitter accounts and userlists mixed on both services, save searches with new post notifications and more.

It has some normal, but nice features like add (tiny) URL, image and shrink text. Also the facebook status can be updated like the twitter tweets.

The column look does look like the one known from TweetDeck, but I like this more, and one of the reasons is that twitter and facebook timelines can be mixed together in one timeline or it can be seperated into 2 columns. Also the twitter replies can be mixed and seperated.

Seesmic has also made some footage of the feature updates/changelog

Atlantica Online : Strategic Turn-based MMORPG micro review

Posted by runebune on April 22, 2009


This fantasy MMORPG takes the traditional Final Fantasy turn based RPG approach and put it into an MMO, but it does more than that. It also has an item mall that can be accessed from the web, nice guide system with auto-move which can take you to any known NPC, quest location or mob which are known to you.

You also gain intel of monster which will give you advantages like auto-move and enhanced damage.

The battle setup is a group style turn based strategy RPG first known from FF. You chose several allies (mercenaries) which you place in your formation, and then you are ready to battle. A turn cycle contains selecting characters then you can use items, use weapon action, loot, cast spells, move, wait or defend. Anything costs action points for each character, and each turn has a time limit which give an extra intensity and strategy element.

One of the main features is the free play with micro transaction. Not that it matters much to my decision on selecting a MMO game, but it’s nice to see the this business model in MMORPG’s like Atlantica.

Most af the other aspects are more or less standard in MMORPGs anno 2009.

At the bottom its not a game I would play for years, but it’s really nice to se this turn-based feature and in-game path guides in an free MMORPG. I can only recommend this nicely MMO title, which gives the genre a fresh taste of old school RPG.
