Tweetdeck Article at TwiTip
My regular ‘Stuff This in Your RSS’ article has been preempted by my guest post about Tweetdeck at Darren Rowse’s new site about Twitter, TwiTip.
I wrote an article about Tweetdeck, when it was first released last July, called All Hands on Tweetdeck. I had been thinking about updating the article because many of my cons of using it had been corrected. When Darren asked for contributors for his new site, I emailed him and offered to write a review of Tweetdeck and he graciously accepted my offer.
I discovered a couple of things from the comments. There is a Linux version of Tweetdeck; I thought it was only available for Windows and MAC. It also seems that that the Linux version doesn’t have the memory issue that I reported having in Windows.
Additionally, Tweetdeck was updated to version .20 beta today. The best new feature is the the addition of a + sign next to the avatar, which allows for easily adding the user to a group.
So, check out my article, give Twitter a try if you still aren’t using it, and try Tweetdeck.
If you aren’t already subscribed to TwiTip, I have provided the link to the RSS feed below. It is, after all, supposed to be RSS feed recommendation day.

Hi Dave – It’s either hobnobbing or providing free content for them ;-) Seriously though, I’m glad he accepted the article.

Hi, Kim! I’ll do an “official” congratulations via comments rather than on Twitter. It is a good review. I learned some things about TweetDeck I didn’t know!

@Mike – Thanks again!
@Hemanth – Great! I hope you enjoy using it.
@Ajith – The site is running Thesis without any real enhancements to it yet. The guest post seems to be giving me more twitter followers than anything else.

@Kristi – Sorry about the commentluv upgrade notice in your link. I’m not thrilled with being forced to upgrade. **Edit – I removed the message.
I would be really curious to find out if you discover a memory usage problem using Tweetdeck on the MAC.

Great review, thanks very much. Been having better tweetDeck performance since paying attention to API and learned a thing or two.

Nice post Kim. Currently i am using Twitterfox along with Twhirl. I have heard a lot about TweetDect. Will give that a try too.

@kuanhoong – I really doubt that is going to happen but thanks for the vote of confidence :-)
@Madhur – I haven’t used Twitterfox – I’m assuming it integrates with Firefox. I used to use Twhirl and really liked that program but now I pretty much only use Tweetdeck and search.

I’ll have to try that. The earlier version was good, but wasn’t quite there for me.

@Jim – When Tweetdeck first came out last summer it had a number of issues that kept me from using it full time. Most of the problems have been corrected.
