Tweetdeck Version 26 - its awesome

In the words of one of the thousands of comments one can read about Tweetdeck, one stands out for me.
"Tweetdeck changed my entire Twitter experience."
Lets face it, there are still many people on the planet who can't see what all the fuss is about. What is the point of Twitter? Who wants to know what you are doing right now?
Tweetdeck goes some way to making sense of it all.
Just like the browsers and then the search engines made sense of the web in that they helped to navigate and find what you wanted from the millions/billions of pages out there, so Tweetdeck is providing its users with a 'controllable' Twitter, a useful Twitter and an insightful one.

The user expereince has been awesome and provoked huge adoption and great stickiness but now, with the latest release, Iain and his team - Tom, Reza, Nicola,Sol - have blown the commentators away.

There are simply too many great new features to enumerate here. Top of the list for most users will be the ability to sync across desktops, laptops and iPhone - across the cloud.
Unlimited columns, auto language translation of incoming or outgoing tweets, spam buttons - these are just a few of the new features.

Backing MicroSyntax

We are pleased at TAG to announce the launch of microsyntax.org — a
non profit organisation to help shape and codify the use of structured syntax
within real time data streams - like Tweets.

Users are increasingly coming up with their own microsyntax and abbreviated Twitter grammar to make their Tweets more expressive. RT, @ and # are already part of the venacular.

The purpose of Microsyntax.org, is to investigate the various ways
that individuals and tool providers (like Tweetdeck)
are trying to innovate around this sort of microsyntax.
We hope to create a forum where alternative approaches can
be discussed and evaluated.

Stowe Boyd is leading the effort — charter funding from Betaworks and TAG —
details and the manifesto on the site, microsyntax.org.

Reaching Twitter and Facebook via Tweetdeck

Tweetdeck now accounts for 13 % of all Twitter users. Tweetdeck is the most popular desktop client for Twitter.
Pretty remarkable for a small UK company, months old and until recently, funded partly by donations from users of the site.

Its utility keeps improving with new features and functionality. The latest of these is an application that adds Tweetdeck to Facebook connect. This means that when you send out a message from Tweetdeck, you will be able to send it to Twitter, Facebook or both.
A new column gets added to Tweetdeck showing you updates from your facebook friends.
If one of your Facebook friends is online, a green dot appears next to their name and you can initiate a chat via a pop-up window.

Techcrunch has just announced this feature which will be rolled out in the next few days.

TAG and Betaworks backed Tweetdeck. See comment on this blog on 25th January.

Tweetdeck organises Twitter

Techcrunch announced Tweetdeck's funding round of $500K on Thursday 22nd.

TweetDeck is a desktop application that aims to evolve the existing functionality of Twitter by taking loads of information i.e twitter feeds, and breaking it down into more manageable bite sized pieces.

TweetDeck enables users to split their main feed (All Tweets) into topic or group specific columns allowing a broader overview of tweets. To do this All Tweets are saved to a local database. One column will always contain All Tweets. The GROUP, SEARCH and REPLIES buttons then allow the user to make up additional columns populated from the database. Once created these additional columns will automatically update allowing the user to easily keep track of a twitter threads.

Being database driven TweetDeck allows the user to continue twittering even when offline. Tweets and direct messages are queued and then sent automatically when back online.

Twitter itself is growing spectacularly. Techcrunch UK pointed out its UK growth in a recent post.

The recent funding round in which TAG participated was led by our good friends Andy Wiseman and John Borthwick of Betaworks, New York. Songkick, Lookery and Snaptalent are other investments we have in common.

Betaworks was also a seed investor in Twitter.
