The version number should 0.26.2 rather than 0.6.2. 2) The RC1 version of Seesmic 0.3, which is available as a "private" beta (you just have to register at Seesmic to get a download link), now allows you to post to multiple Twitter accounts and your Facebook account at the same time. 3) In TweetDeck, you can reorder the columns by simply clicking the arrow at the bottom of the column to shift it left or right. I completely overlooked that button when reviewing the app. 4) In Seesmic, you can comment on Facebook statuses by clicking the "@" symbol (I assumed that it would tweet the status, but I was wrong). 5) While it is still not possible to perform a live sync between various computers with Seesmic, there are some directions (http://bit.ly/QoQaQ) explaining how to copy the config files from one computer to another to migrate your settings from one to the other. However, there is potential for issues when trying to use the same config files across different platforms, and I see no way to configure the application to look in a different location for those files (so that, for instance, on a dual-boot system, you could use the same config files for both platforms).
