TweetDeck – Twitter Control Center
TweetDeck has been my Twitter Control Center for several months and now with Version 0.26 it’s even more powerful:
Newest features:
- Manage Multiple Twitter Accounts – (for you split personality types)
- Sync and Backup – to keep your TweetDeck safe
- Spam button – use this to avoid twitter spam
- iPhone – take all your TweetDeck favorites, groups, columns etc. with you!
Other features:
- Columns -You can display one column or many columns. I typically keep 10 columns open.
- Groups – View your followers in specific groups, which have their own column.
- Notifications – shows you new updates from peeps you’re following, replies, DMs, or 1 of your groups or searches.
- Facebook – Update Facebook from TweetDeck
- Constant updating – you can adjust the frequency of of updates from “All Friends”, “@Mentions” and “DMs” – no need to manually refresh all the time
- Video – Record, share and watch video clips from within TweetDeck
- Photos – View photo thumbnails directly from TweetDeck
- Short URL - Shorten a URL without leaving tweetdeck!
- Searches – Do a search on your name and find out what others are saying about you on twitter. Find out about an event, an organization or a person by searching for a name, keyword or hashtag.
- Saved Searches – Follow topics real-time and save your searches

Hashtags:
- Hashtag – like tags, just prefix a word with the hash symbol – #: #mac, #iphone or #fb, used to create “groupings” on twitter
- Hashtags.org – check out this site for real-time tracking of Hashtags: Trends, Tags, People, etc.
- Follow – @hashtags on Twitter on twitter
- Use – hashtags in your tweets by preceding your key words with the #, i.e. #socialmedia
- Hashtag Origin – Hashtags were popularized during the San Diego forest fires in 2007 when Nate Ritter used the hashtag "#sandiegofire" to identify his updates related to the disaster.
