“The best desktop Twitter app”

by Jon Riggall about TweetDeck

Twitter's official desktop app TweetDeck has finally come out of beta, and joins the website and mobile apps as part of the redesign of the service.

TweetDeck allows you to follow any number of Twitter and Facebook accounts you run in one columned application. The biggest change with this version of TweetDeck is it no longer installs through Adobe AIR, making getting started that little bit faster.

The appearance of TweetDeck is largely unchanged. It's clean and easy to understand, and still probably the best app for using multiple accounts. The default setting features a Home feed of updates from all your accounts together. Then there is the @Me feed, which shows all interactions with you on Twitter or Facebook. Finally there is an Inbox for Direct Messages in Twitter. You can add to any of these from a selection of things like Lists or Tweets, and remove any of them too.

TweetDeck is absolutely essential if you use more than one Twitter account. It's easy to use, and very clearly designed, with the added security of Twitter's official support. Making a real installer so Adobe AIR isn't required is a great improvement on earlier versions too.

Pros
  • Organizes information
  • Nice interface
  • Automatically updated
Cons
  • Home feed can quickly get too busy

    The release removed every UI feature of the "beta"(which I had been using for years) that made it my choice for a twitter desktop application. I won't be using it any longer. Off to find a replacem... More

    The new TweetDeck wasnt as user friendly as the old ones with yellow color. Blue color is fine just that it loses its functionality greatly.
