I visited with Loic Le Meur today about Seesmic Desktop while preparing for the release of my new book, “Twitter for Business: Twitter for Friends”. Loic answers questions about the future of Seesmic Desktop including the list as follows:

• How soon do you expect to release the next Seesmic Desktop update, and what additional features do you plan to implement?
• Is Twhirl a relic, or will you continue to improve it and release updates?
• Have you considered adding column filters in Seesmic Desktop?
• How is API resource management handled in seesmic Desktop?
• Have you considered an option for opening profiles directly to a browser?
• It seems that account management of multiple Twitter accounts is a hit. Would you like to expand on this?
• How do you feel about recent negative reports concerning Twitter’s user retention, and do you believe Seesmic can help to change this?
• I have noticed that Seesmic Desktop does not ask the popular question of “What are you doing?”. Should this imply something?
• It is pretty obvious that Seesmic does not have any specific branding to Twitter, such as Tweet, Twit, or Tweeps, in the name. Do you plan to add additional micro-blogging or other social media platforms, aside from Twitter and Facebook, in the future?
• How will Seesmic benefit from creating and maintaining Seesmic Desktop? How will you monetize Seesmic Desktop?
• What is your vision for Seesmic?

Since Loic and myself are both very busy, we did not have a lot of lead time for this talk. We initially Webcasted this live with both of us on-screen, but uStream does not record co-hosts, so this video only includes the audio for Loic. Also, try to ignore the typo in his name on the banner … Sorry Loic! In my defense, I have no aspirations in television broadcast. I am fortunate to have spelled my own name correctly.
