I have been using Twitter lately a whole lot more than I had before, in part because I primarily did most of my social networking at Jaiku. However, I have been getting much more comfortable with using Twitter as my primary socnet but only using the service through the website when at the computer was not cutting it for me. I use Twitterrific on the iPhone and it’s excellent but needed to find a desktop client to manage the service. Enter TweetDeck, an Adobe Air desktop application.
TweetDeck
TweetDeck has quickly become my best friend when I want to “tweet” at my computer, be it at work or at home. It allows you to have different columns and have a quick snapshot of the most recent tweets by the people you follow, @replies to you and direct messages. It also allows you to create groups for your contacts, if you so desire, as well as uploading twitpics (pictures). It really is a winner in my book and very simple to use. I recommend it to anyone who uses Twitter and is looking for a desktop app to manage it effectively.
Beware: Twittering can be quite addictive
