Seesmic Desktop has just added Facebook Fan Page support in version 0.6. Now Page admins can update their content, but better yet, fans can view all their Pages as distinct entities and engage with them like never before.
"With the Facebook Page feature, you have greater control on how you market your business, oversee your brand, listen to your fans and build your community," a release from Seesmic explained. Facebook, it should be noted, has launched its own feature to push fan page updates directly to Twitter.
As a fan, you now have instant access to all your Pages or just the ones you love the most. Use the left-hand column, or access Preferences, and navigate to Accounts to find a list of Fan Pages associated with your account. The Pages you click and save will now appear in the left-hand column, where you can select them to view and engage with content.

If you're an ordinary Facebook user who doesn't manage any fan pages, Seesmic Desktop can also track status posts from those that you subscribe to.
As a Page admin you can also configure Seesmic Desktop so that you can post to your Pages from the status update bar. You’ll need to make the connection between Facebook and allow extended permissions, but once you do the Page should appear in the left-hand column, as well as in the account options for the update bar. Essentially you can use Seesmic Desktop to crosspost to Twitter, Facebook, and your Pages all with one single update.
Founder Loic Le Meur also announced that 2.5 million people have now downloaded Seesmic Desktop, and that Seesmic has partnered with Twitter image-sharing app Yfrog to be its default image provider. It's the second partnership deal for Yfrog in a month, having inked a deal with URL shortener Bitly a few weeks ago. That's probably disconcerting news for Yfrog rival Twitpic, once the unequivocal big player in Twitter image uploads.
