TweetDeck Editor's Review

Take complete command of your Twitter account with this easy to use Windows app.

Social networking is huge and hot right now. If you active on any major social network, you're likely active on more than one. Part of being social requires that you broadcast to as wide an audience as possible. This is why I like tools like TweetDeck. It’s a social networking tool for Windows.

TweetDeck is a social networking tool for both Facebook and Twitter.  It shows you everything you want to see, all at once, so you can stay on top of the happenings within your social networks.  Its social media dashboard helps you manage all of your Twitter and Facebook accounts. Like other Twitter apps, it interfaces with the Twitter API to allow users to send and receive tweets, view profiles as well as update and view your FB Status and Timeline.

App Pro’s: All your feeds in one place, Free, easy to use

App Con’s: Only works with Twitter and Facebook, missing support for Google+

Conclusion: TweetDeck changed from an Adobe AIR application to native apps for both Windows and Mac OS X.  There's a web version of TweetDeck for WebKit-based browsers. The app's most drastic update dropped support for other social networks like LinkedIn, Google Buzz, Foursquare, and MySpace. Clearly missing still is support for Google+. TweetDeck is a decent app, and you can't beat its price.  However, earlier versions were clearly more popular with users; and it would be nice if it included support for a few other networks.
