TweetDeck rules - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Lovin' me some Tweetdeck. Groups support is a must and I won't ever move to another client that doesn't support it. - Mark Krynsky

Just installed it last night myself. Haven't played with it as of yet. Looking forward to it though. - Bob Maltais

I've only used Twitter WebApps and now venturing to native clients. PROGRESS! - Mona Nomura

TweetDeck is great. Hint: Make a column that searches for Bacon. :-) - Louis Gray

I've been toying with the same idea. You go first, Mona. Louis: This is why you are the awesomest. - Lisa L. Seifert

I concur. Excellent choice Mona. - David Wynn

TweetDeck is great! - Sarah Perez

All desktop apps are distracting though, gotta get real work done! - Sally Church

I <3 TweetDeck too. Good choice, girl. - Carmen

That's funny. I installed it last night as well. Interesting, but a little buggy. I made 3 additional groups to ones already offered, and now when I go to move the last group I created left or right, it disappears. Also, it doesn't seem to remember the login information even if you check the box. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

Mark: I'm having the same issue with the login info checked box or not - Bob Maltais

@Bob Meh... It's a beta. I'll check their site later and see if there's a way to report it. But that brings up something that irks me: the old saga of releasing buggy, unfinished code, calling it a beta and expecting people to accept it. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

@Mark A case of not wanting to miss the boat so jump on not properly "packed" or in this case "programed" - Bob Maltais

TweetDeck is my tool of choice. I love the groups - Bwana ☠

me too, search is good too - Adrian

I liked TweetDeck but find myself using Twirl more. - Jericho from twhirl

Confession: I've yet to install. I have issues with Adobe Air. It is a personal thing. - Mona Nomura

Louis - I love your "bacon" search recommendation for Mona. Tweetdeck really is awesome.... very happy with it, except it HOGS CPU / RAM like nobody's business...sigh - Susan Beebe

So true Susan. I have to quit it a couple times a day to free up resources. :( - Bwana ☠

Mona are you two-timing with Silverlight behind Air's back? - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

I love Tweetdeck. However, 1. it is a bit of a CPU hog, and 2. it takes up a fair chunk of screen estate. Having said that, I have Tweetdeck/GMail/Friendfeed/IRC/Skype open on a secondary machine, so it doesn't slow my main machine down, and doesn't distract me so much, as the screen is off to one side, and I don't get pop ups on the main monitors. - Ian May

I started using Tweet Deck last night, switching from Twhirl and I really like it! - Joe Dawson

LOL, Joe Dawson is in beta? - Bwana ☠

Ian is the man! smart cookie, I'll have to re-purpose one of my spare laptops for that! - Susan Beebe

I played with TweetDeck for a few days, quickly realized that it was a vastly inferior interface for monitoring feeds than Google Reader, and then uninstalled it. I miss it not in the slightest. - Sean McBride

Tweetdeck works well if you have a huge amount of screen real estate; otherwise I would suggest Twhirl which takes up very little space - Glenn Batuyong

I installed TweetDeck last evening and quickly bailed out of it. Too much of information and it is like information quicksand...you hear a giant sucking noise and are instantly lost in the information quicksand....mt re-visit it later. - kamla bhatt

kamla -- yup, - Sean McBride

I just remembered why I refrained from native 3rd party apps. I blogged about it a while back. Two words: Adobe AIR. - Mona Nomura

Tweetdeck is the best! - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)

Sucking noise? Mine sounds like a frog croaking. - Tapio Kulmala

I easily control all my Friendfeed and Twitter feeds (and many hundreds more) under a few dozen well-organized folders with Google Reader. GR provides enormous leverage over a huge flood of news and information. I've tried every feed manager out there, and so far none of them have come close to GR for me. But you need to know what you are doing to extract maximum benefits from using GR in this way. TweetDeck struck me as a conspicuous waste of time -- extremely inefficient. - Sean McBride

By the way, no offense to those who love TweetDeck. We are all expressing our honest opinions here. If you love it, if it provides good value for you, all the more power to you. God bless. Follow your bliss. - Sean McBride

It's all about exchanging ideas, Sean. No need for apologies or disclaimers in my feed - ever. And thanks to everyone for their feedback! - Mona Nomura

Thanks, Mona. You've always struck me as a clear-eyed, hard-headed and no-nonsense type. :) Tell us what's on your mind and let's see if it makes any sense. - Sean McBride

Sean - thanks for your words. :) I like hearing feedback from real users, so this thread has been extremely informative to me. So thanks, you guys! That said... First, I have an issue with sites and services that require any publishing tool in order for it to be efficiently utilized. That has and will always be my number one complaint with Twitter. Second, I do not like AIR or Silverlight, at all. I also, have an issue with AIR aside from performance. I wrote about it here: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Mona Nomura

How timely. Been wondering about installing this myself. How is it that I think up a question and someone or many someones on Friendfeed answers it? ESP? What? - Martha
