How about direct insert into customer and company Twitter and FB? plus SMS and email built into the same platform? If yes, coming in September.

If Seesmic/Tweetdeck is your normal Gmail, CoTweet is Salesforce!

If you want CoTweet to be a Desktop app use Google Chrome and make it so! (i.e login, click on the paper icon on the right, and click create application shortcut.)

This is the best app I have seen in a VERY LONG time.
I have used Tweetdeck, Seesmic, Yoono, and several more and there is no comparison.

This is changing the CRM game forever!! The only thing I could ask for is integration with other Micro blogging Suites..e.g messengers..I do not know how possible it will be though..

Go guys, you Rock!!!

This looks like a great launching pad for CoTweet.

Congratulations to the CoTweet team! This is fabulous news for CoTweet, and the industry as a whole, as many businesses are struggling to figure out how to incorporate and manage social media within their organizations. This news validates all the work we are doing to develop the tools to help make it easier for social media teams to monitor and manage online conversations.

Quick correction on my previous comment: This isn’t a SproutCore app, as much as it looks like one. It’s jQuery.

Let me get this straight. They raised $1 million for a product that offers incremental feature enhancement to a platform that is still in its infancy and for which there are already lots of competitive options. Wow! What were the VCs thinking?

There’s a big difference between multiple accounts and multiple authors under one account.

Cullen, just a sidenote, my new product Twitterface (free, public beta launched 7/1/09) does multiple accounts on the web and we will be adding email and RSS along with a ton of other features to it. No Facebook integration planned though, unless I am just forced to!

Regarding turning something into a task we are also planning features around that and I’m interested in doing something for automatic bug submittal for software products if we can make that work. Very excited to be able to use Twitter for functional tasks like this, because of their openness with the api.

Also, neither of those tools allow for multiple authors under one account.

Huh..are you serious? Both TweetDeck and Seesmic allow multiple accounts. I have been using it for over 2 weeks now.

I’m already in love with this product. I could see it replacing my Twitter desktop client, even though the focus here is more about managing your brand and multiple accounts with teams. This is one of the first Sproutcore built apps that I’ve used which runs really, really well.

Now… I would PAY for this service if they added email, RSS, and maybe Facebook integration. I realize this is totally out of the scope of what they are trying to do, but really, if I could aggregate all of my data into one sexy webapp… I’d be in heaven. Especially with the ability to turn something into a followup/task, and share the load with team members.

CoTweet is great. Had to wait for a while to get on the beta and I am very happy with it. For companies using Twitter for Customer Service (or gasp Marketing) it is a better option than Seesmic (have it love it) or Tweetdeck (have it, love it).

They launched today, but their web site specifically says “used by companies, agencies and organizations of all sizes” and it lists Ford, Microsoft, Starbucks, SI, Sprint, CocaCola, Pepsi and etc… How is that even possible?

CoTweet is not Yammer. Nor is it for corporations. It’s for managing your brand’s Twitter presence. What CoTweet does is allow for central management of all the Twitter accounts across a brand with the functionality to assign certain people to certain accounts, make notes and assign particular responsibilities. It also allows you to track who sent what to whom; a useful feature when multiple people are on an account.

It also has some ways to go, but it’s an efficient tool.

My worry (at this point) is that a Public Beta will invite Spammers and those who want to schedule marketing broadcast/spam Tweets.

the sad thing for us is they’re leaving Central PA. Totally makes sense, but we really would like to see successful tech companies stay and grow here to help future growth.

Both TD & Seesmic are currently focused on building a consumer tool. Businesses have very different needs, which is where CoTweet comes in.

Also, neither of those tools allow for multiple authors under one account.

Take a look at this article to see why it’s so important for businesses to be on Twitter, and how CoTweet fits in – http://blog.cot...man-on-twitter/

Daniel – What are the chances of someone who is active in twitter or a marketing personnel accessing a public or shared computer?

Jesse – The problem is, there are a lot of sites out there that are providing “branding” services. All it is , is just integrating Twitter and adding some small features here and there and telling a compelling story. Interestingly most of these functions and features can be accomplished on TD or Seesmic itself. Multiple accounts, both have it. Conversation tracking can be easily achieved by using Twitter Search – very simple and also, TD and Seesmic have great tracking capability through their search. All the other features, less than about 1% of users will use them.

I am saying this because CoTweet look very clean and nice and i am pretty it took a lot of effort, but all it provides is just tiny advantages to users and for someone to switch from TD or Seesmic, is very unlikely. There has to be some thing really significant for business users to make that switch. If not, it is not going to happen.
