Tweetdeck vs Seesmic

Tweetdeck vs Seesmic-Can you tell me which is best?
For the past several months I have used Tweetdeck as my social media desktop. Over the weekend I continuously had issues where Tweetdeck would not post to my Facebook Pages. As irritating as it may seem I let it go for a couple of days before I decided to troubleshoot, thinking that Tweetdeck was just performing an update and that the issue would resolve itself-but I was wrong. Since troubleshooting didn't really fix the issue and after reading several reviews that pertained to my problem I decided to look into a new desktop manager.

Seesmic was the top of my list, I downloaded the web version and the desktop version. I liked the fact that I could adjust the font sizes and add as many accounts of Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn as I desired. Tweetdeck's fonts for multi-column version on web and desktop were way too small for me to read without adjusting my screen resolution settings. 

Since my wifey is an amazing cake decorator and a Southwest Ohio Region Avon Representative, I found it fitting that Seesmic allowed me to monitor and post from the web and desktop version with ease. Seesmic also has a marketplace where you can follow RSS Feeds, blogs, and other plug in apps. Pretty amazing versus the lack of resources Tweetdeck has, especially since they are owned by Twitter.

As I continue to build my social media brand around jobs, fundraisers, and the pursuit of happiness, help market and sell the Custom Cakes by Jenn Brand and helping Jenn with on-line sales and marketing for Avon, I need a social media desktop that can follow several #keywords and #trends and give the choice to cross post between my professional oriented Facebook Page, Professional LinkedIn, and Twitter
