Twitter TweetDeck App Review


Tweetdeck is an Adobe Air desktop application used to access Twitter. Tweetdeck is available for the Windows and MAC operating systems. It is made of panes that allow you to take the enormous amount of information contained within Twitter and break it down into parts that are more easily managed.



Default Panes:

All Tweets - All the people that you are following.
Replies - All @ messages sent to your username
Direct Messages - All personal d messages sent to your username
More panes can be added by using Tweetdeck’s features, such as Groups, and can be rearranged by moving them to the left or the right.


Integrated Features:

Search - The search used by Tweetdeck is http://search.twitter.com Followers or all twitter users can be searched and the results open up in a new pane. I frequently run a search on WordPress to discover new resources, help individuals who are having problems, and locate work.

Twitscoop - Twitscoop reports the hot trends on Twitter in a tag cloud format and also lists the top 10 keywords. While writing this some of the top tags are iowa penn, quaker oatmeal (I have no idea what that’s about), and nzelection.
