Monitoring Twitter: Real-Time Communication, Connections And Learning

April 3, 2009 in how-to tools

TweetDeck is an Adobe Air desktop application, currently in public beta, that looks to capture the abundance of social media and display it in a unique columned user interface.

TweetDeck is a realtime application that allows users to monitor that information in a single concise view. TweetDeck currently integrates services from Twitter, Twitscoop, 12seconds, Stocktwits and now Facebook.

But at the heart of TweetDeck is its ability to group people together and search across the twittersphere. Grouping friends or work colleagues separately means you have a window on all aspects of your twitter life. Searching across the twittersphere means you can monitor any subject within Twitter. These additional columns automatically update so providing the user with a very effective dashboard of realtime information.

Anybody using Twitter will discover the mass of tweets can be somewhat overwhelming and difficult to digest. TweetDeck enables users to split their main Twitter feed (All Friends) into columns allowing a broader overview of tweets.

Additional Features

  • Catch up with overnight global twitterings as TweetDeck stores all updates whilst running
  • Continual status updates of TweetDeck and Twitter
  • Resize TweetDeck as either an unobtrusive column, full screen or anything in between
  • Especially useful running full screen on a separate monitor
  • Filter tweets using the tweet text, username, source or timeframe
  • Auto updates from the Twitter API
