Seesmic for Facebook is an Air application that will let you see the status updates of your friends, as well as update your own. It is a simple application that really is just for updating your status as well as reading the status updates of others.
As it uses Facebook Connect to update, there is no need to be on the main Facebook web page. All you need is Adobe Air. From there, you just download the Seesmic for Facebook file and install it within Air. After that, you let it connect with your Facebook account and you’re set.
I tried this app for a full week and while it worked pretty well, there were a few bugs. Upon the initial installation, it had some hiccups when trying to connect to my Facebook account. After a couple of tries, I was in and running right along. Sometimes, the updates would get hung but, for the most part, it was still a pretty favorable experience. As Seesmic also makes the Twhirl application, there is word that the two apps will be merged into a single one.
If you prefer checking the status updates of your friends and updating your own without popping in and out of the Facebook main page all of the time, give Seesmic for Facebook a try. You may find its singular focus on staying caught-up on status updates to be just what you’re looking for.
