Yesterday I found out about new Adobe AIR Twitter client, TweetDeck, finally an application that makes it possible to cope up with information overload on twitter.
TweetDeck has multi-column view, it’s first column display all latest tweets (like “home” on twitter.com). Other columns can contain replies, direct messages, groups (tweets from selected people), searches and latest twitscoop. Of course if you like traditional twitter clients, you can close these other columns, but then you will not be using it’s full potential.
TweetDeck also features a “timeframe” feature, which allows user to filter tweets by time since posted, from last 1 hour to 48 hours, this can be very useful in filtering already read tweets and eliminating noise. All tweets are stored on local database, which also allows user to browse them while offline, any tweet posted or DM posted in that time are posted when back online.
TweetDeck is currently a beta, and even though it’s version is 0.18, it’s very functional and I haven’t encountered any bug yet. So, if you, like me have been overwhelmed by too much information on twitter and want to ease the load, give TweetDeck a try.
Now all that is remaining is to find a good feed aggregator!
