Developing the Seesmic for Windows client was a vital step in getting to the release of Seesmic Desktop 2. The work they did on Seesmic for Windows paved the way for their move to Silverlight with the release of Seesmic Desktop 2 last week.

Back at PDC09, I talked about Seesmic’s move to the Windows Platform. Silverlight 4 introduced the ability for out-of-browser Silverlight experiences and Seesmic Desktop 2 is a good example that. Seesmic Desktop 2 is built on our Silverlight Platform (Silverlight 4). More than 40 plugins for different services are available today include Foursquare, YouTube, and more. There are some fantastic plugins included in Seesmic Desktop 2 and also available on the Seesmic Marketplace. On tweets from people sharing their geolocation, you can click on that location in Seesmic Desktop 2 and through the Bing Maps plugin (which comes BY default in Seesmic Desktop 2) you can see a map showing where that person tweeted from. A good example of a plugin for a neat service is the Bing Maps plugin.
