Creating and maintaining an online presence can be very time-consuming. However, it does not have to be. With TweetDeck, you are on your way to streamlined efficiency!
What is TweetDeck
TweetDeck is a stand-alone client that allows you to check your Twitter messages, create groups, and monitor your presence − and your followers’ − on several other major social networking sites: Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Buzz, Foursquare and MySpace.
TweetDeck is free and available for desktops and as an application for your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Android, and the Chrome browser.
Features
TweetDeck is one of the best Twitter applications right now. Here is a small list of features:
−TweetDeck is an all-in-one tool that lets you access and update all your social networking accounts (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Buzz, Foursquare and MySpace).
−If you have more than one Twitter account, no problem! You can manage them all from TweetDeck.
−Interacting with Twitter followers has never been easier. Reply, RT (retweet) and send DMs (direct messages) directly from TweetDeck.
With TweetDeck, you can also:
−Schedule your updates to appear on all your social networking profiles.
−See who follows you.
−Easily create, add and manage groups/lists to monitor your followers and keywords in your niche.
−Follow the hottest topics on Twitter with TwitScoop and Trending Topics.
−Watch and record videos with TwitVid.

Do you know that you are not limited to 140 characters on Twitter when you use TweetDeck? All you need is a Google Buzz account. Simply select Buzz and Twitter before sending your update. The full message will appear on Buzz while your tweet will contain the first 116 characters with a link to the full update.
