David’s Tech Show

Have you ever wondered what other people think is the best Twitter client is? Well, let me tell you, if this isn’t the best one, it’s darned close.

My friend belthesar, showed me this awesome Twitter Application, called TweetDeck. It’s a cross-platform Adobe Air application, that allows you to see all of your tweets, all of your DM’s, and all of your @ replies.

This is a great application, besides one draw-back I’ve seen. It almost takes up your whole desktop. Now, I know many of you say, “well, what does it matter? It’s the functionality that matters, not the interface” This may only be me, but I prefer to have a Twitter application, that can sit right on my desktop, that allows you to just glance over, and see/write tweets. Like I said, this isn’t a huge deal, but it may be looked upon to be improved.

There are also 4 buttons located at the top of the window, “tweet”, “group”, “search”, and “replies. One I’d really like to point out, is the search feature. This is extremely useful, for finding people’s tweets that my have been buried very deep.

I also happen to like the “timeframe” slider. You can set your timeframe from 1 to 168 hours. This will allow you to see tweets that are older, or only concentrate on the newer ones. This in my opinion is a great feature.

One of the many features I also like, is the ability to use TweetDeck when you are offline, or if Twitter is down, which has been happening quite frequently. You simply select a simple button at startup, and TweetDeck will send the Tweets once your service is restored

All this and more in TweetDeck! So, go check it out for yourself!

All in all, TweetDeck is amazing! Check it out here!
