SeesmicAIR and mobility

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Last night at Four AM I got an alpha release of SeesmicAIR from Critter and I started to play with it. My initial response was good. It's fast, intuitive and it doesn't a browser. Today as I had lunch I went mobile with my laptop, relying on battery.

Those who follow my blog know that I'm using a macbook pro and those that follow my tweets know that I was happy about something. Usually when i seesmic I go into the user interface and I get told that my battery will last about an hour and a half to an hour as I seesmic. Today though I had almost three hours of battery life whilst being able to keep an eye on seesmic.

That's because SeesmicAIR is running off Adobe and rather than use most of the CPU to work it's running with far fewer resources. As a result I can lurk on seesmic without killing the battery or running a hot machine.

I saw that both Loic Lemeur and Johann are on the Eurostar and I was able to comment on seesmic and keep an eye on reactions. Vinvin answered my question and it's good.

I love the fact that I don't need to worry about battery life anymore. I've had time to prepare lunch, have lunch and then still have an hour and a half of battery life to write this post. I really enjoy having the ability to do this. It means that I can do something in the background. In brief SeesmicAIR is just as useful as I thought it would be.Â It's still a little buggy but that's normal when dealing with Alpha.
