To Tweet or not to Tweet


As Journalist's we need to be kept up to date with all the latest news and sometimes it gets annoying when we have to flick from one web window to the other so guess what....I have found a new web application that helps you stay connected with all the latest news and feeds all in once place.

Welcome to TweetDeck!


After the huge success of Twitter, a new web application has been launched.
TweetDeck
is a browser that helps you keep in touch with what's happening now.

It lets you connect with people from Twitter, Facebook and other networking sites all in one place. TweetDeck lets you see everything, all at once, making it easier to stay up to date and organised.

TweetDeck has many other useful features. You can update new posts straight onto Twitter and see what new 'tweets' your contacts have uploaded. There are columns for you to design your own personal dashboard and options to create groups so that it's easier to follow your friends, colleagues and even celebrities.

The application works in Real time so that everything you search and view is up to date, and so you don't miss anything important, notifications appear in front of you to let you know the latest feed or post. This also means you can view and manage your direct messages and conversations.

It is a great tool for Journalists because they can stay up to date with all the latest breaking news and feeds all in one place. It is linked to other networking sites making it easier to stay connected all at once with collegues and business's instead of having to open different Internet windows and flicking from one to the other and because it is in Real time you are never behind on the news or important updates.

The application is easy to use and download. Search for TweetDeck and simply click the download button and within minutes it's done. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. To make things even simpler there is an option that allows you to save your user name and password. This means that TweetDeck remembers who you are and automatically logs you in straight away.

Overall this product is 'tweeting' good. TweetDeck is not only easy and free to download but is simple to use and maintain. I would recommend this application to anyone who wants to stay up to date with the latest news and feeds all in one place, all at the same time.

Is it free to download from: www.tweetdeck.com/beta
