I'm still using Hootsuite Lite (along with Seesmic) at the moment despite
the adverts / trawling simply as I want to assure myself which is the best
client, not which has the most annoying business model.

That said if Hootsuite Lite turns out to trounce Seesmic in the usability
stakes I'm not convinced I'll retain it given the advert situation.
