Seesmic sent the insiders and email today announcing the addition of Twitter Lists to the Seesmic client. The image above is an example of how the lists would be selected.  There are a few other screen shots and some explanations on the Seesmic Help Desk.

Seesmic is the first to add Lists to their client. Loic and his team continue to shine both in making a solid Twitter client but in keeping it cutting edge.

This might have me pitting Tweetdeck against Seesmic once again.

What’s your client? Are you using Lists? Will this be a game changer?

From Seesmic,

Greetings, TeamSeesmic Friends!

I’m happy to let you know that we are releasing a new version of Seesmic Desktop, Version 0.3 RC or 0.3 Release Candidate. This version is being released to our TeamSeesmic members for the next few days to review a couple of big features and get your feedback.

Because this will be only be available to our TeamSeesmic friends, this version will not auto-update.

To update this version, please click on the link or copy & paste into your browser:

http://d.seesmic.com/seesmic/SeesmicDesktop-0.3-rc1.air

here is a video we prepared for you explaining the changes

Here are the features that are included in this version:

Multi-Account Posting with Smart Account Enabling:
We’ve upgraded the user interface to select which accounts to send posts to, saving you the time and effort it takes to post to each account separately. We’ve also added an option for Smart Account Enabling. With this feature turned on, this will allow Seesmic Desktop to change accounts when messaging your friends based on whom you are replying or direct messaging to. Seesmic will not change the accounts if you do not enable Smart Account.

Authenticated bit. ly Integration:
You can now use your own bit. ly account when using bit. ly as a shortener for Seesmic Desktop. By simply entering your bit. ly API key, you can now keep track of your URL clicks when sharing your links with your friends and followers.

New Services Panel:
Along with bit. ly, we have set a foundation for managing your accounts for sending images, and be able to set them in our new Services Panel. The Additional Integrated Account Services panel currently includes image services such as Pikchur (where you can set your own account), Posterous, TwitPic, Twitgoo & yfrog (which is currently using your twitter account). More importantly, this allows us to give you more options for integrated accounts with other services that will be coming soon.

Continued UI modifications, enhancements and fixes:
We’ve made continued modifications to the Seesmic Desktop user interface saving time when using Seesmic Desktop and space when reading your stream.

Some of the enhancements include:
Minimizing the message panel until you start entering messages to send
Enabling replies in your Facebook friends’ avatar to quickly add comments
Inline reminders of what account you are posting from
An added “Cancel” button to erase your messages in the message panel
Updated scrolling arrows for enhanced browsing
Ensuring all replies appear in your integrated timeline
and many other additional fixes

If you have any direct feedback on this version, the best way to send in the feedback is through our help site: http://help.seesmic.com/ (we are currently working on some posts for the new features).

If you have any feedback on new feature enhancements, please go to http://feedback.seesmic.com/ to review, vote or add any ideas for our upcoming versions.
And of course, you can contact @askseesmic on Twitter.

Oh and we launched a new community site for TeamSeesmic, it is very alpha but hundreds already joined us, see you there?

We look forward to hearing your feedback!

Here’s a link from the press release for the updated client. Though I’m bouncing between my favorite clients, I’m going to download and try this out ASAP. If Loic is involved, it can’t be all bad. Ha.
