Review of Tweetdeck's new features
I downloaded the latest version of Tweetdeck last week, and I’m really impressed with it, partially because of the improved functionality and partially because they’ve added Myspace to their dashboard.
I know, MySpace is considered yesterday’s news, but the fact that an app such as tweetdeck is willing to invest some effort into enabling people to interact on that social network says something to me about MySpace…that maybe its a little early to discount it…and since using the new tweetdeck, I’ve already found reason to interact some on myspace.
The improved functionality with Facebook is where Tweetdeck really shines, because it shows they’ve overtaken Seesmic and other apps which had previously offered the same functionality. Personally I prefer tweetdeck to Seesmic and others, partially because of the dark background, which is easier on the eyes, and partially because it’s not as busy or as clunky to maneuver as Seesmic is.
It is important to stay up to date with your applications of choice, because new features will be added all the time. It can sometimes be tempting to ignore plugins or social media apps that need updates, but what you miss out on are great features and better security with those applications. If you need to, schedule part of a day for an hour or so once a month and review all of your applications and get them updated, if they don’t update automatically. Doing so will keep you updated and using the most supported version of your applications, while asl ogetting access to the latest features…and nicely enough its all free.
