TweetDeck: Desktop client for Twitter helps you organize the chaos
Posted by: in Social InformantFiled under: Internet, Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Freeware, Social Software, Beta
TweetDeck is a desktop client for Twitter build on Adobe AIR. Nothing new there. That sentence could have described Twhirl, Snitter, or Alert Thingy. But TweetDeck has a few features up its sleeve that other Twitter clients lack.
The most noticeable difference is that TweetDeck has a multi-column view. You can glance at all of the latest tweets from your contacts in one column, see replies in another, and direct messages in a third. Or you can create groups of contacts (for example, a group of all your favorite Download Squad bloggers on Twitter), and see just updates from those contacts in a column.
You can customize the display by adding up to 10 columns, or removing columns you don’t need. The display is also resizable. There are no themes and no way to adjust the font yet. But the application is still in beta.
