Enterprise Friendfeed and Twitter client Socialcast has been on somewhat of an update streak of late. The company recently gave its site a major update, showing off a cleaner gorgeous UI along with a number of other feature enhancements, the most recent being better notifications for groups (yes groups, just like Friendfeed).
I must admit to being rather surprised that Socialcast hasn’t received the press coverage it frankly it deserves. In my honest opinion, the application dominates in every aspect of what you’d expect from an “Enterprise Twitter client”, and yes, that includes outpacing Present.ly and Techcrunch 50 winner, Yammer. UI, functionality, usability, features and lets not forget the wonderful customer service, Socialcast really deserves far more praise than it currently receives.
Moving on, no sooner had competitor Yammer updated their iphone app, Socialcast releases their own. Although full featured, the iPhone app doesn’t include push notifications, something most of its customers will have been waiting for. That said, with email notifications included in virtually every aspect of the application, you shouldn’t miss them too much.
If you have yet to try out Socialcast, whether you are a business employee, owner or a lone ranger entrepreneur, it really is worth checking out. In fact we have just started using the application here at The Next Web and with good reason.
More updates to come once we’ve tried and tested the application. You can download it for free, from here.

“that includes outpacing Present.ly and Techcrunch 50 winner, Yammer…” – and there you lost me. I can total understand that you liked Socialcast (which might be a good tool, never tried it myself), but the above statement is so inaccurate that I have no interest in reading the rest of your article, because it will probably sounds like a socialcast commercial.
Hi Zee,
Thanks for the review of our new app – and the praise for Socialcast overall. We appreciate the feedback and look forward to hearing more from you about how it’s going at The Next Web.

You should mention Socialwok as well, its feature packed and tightly integrated with Google Apps. Also Socialwok is built on the Google App Engine so it highly scalable and your data is totally secure and safe. Socialwok also uses the Google Web Toolkit so its UI feels solid like Gmail and works on all browsers from ie6 to Safari and Firefox.
Finally socialwok has had a HTML5 iPhone interface since it was launched.
No signup required just login using your google app crediantials.
have you tried it?
