Yesterday, Yahoo (@yahoo) announced the laun
ch of it´s own AIR-powered desktop application called Sideline (@ysideline). The style is great, but why would one use it instead of Nambu (@nambu) or TweetDeck(@tweetdeck). It allows users to create and group custom queries by topics of interest.
Sideline is an open source application release
d under the BSD license. The first beta release is out, so I am sure it will improve to keep up with the competition.
At this point in the evolution of Sideline, it is simply a Twitter monitoring tool. Yahoo has given us all another way to keep on top of the latest trends in the twitosphere as well as searching keywords.
Until Yahoo beefs up this potentially useful application, it will sit watching the game from the sideline.
