On my Mac/Windows PC…Tweetdeck

Tweetdeck for Mac | Tweetdeck for Windows

I've never been that fond of Twitter's web site or client software either, for that matter. Much of this stems from Twitters inability to understand that many people, myself included, have multiple Twitter accounts that they must monitor and use. The apps developed by Twitter force you to switch between accounts in order to view the stream and this simply doesn't work for me.

Enter Tweetdeck (and several, now-defucnt, clients before it). This software was developed by a standalone company first and then acquired by Twitter so that should prevent it from disappearing too soon. As to the advantages of Tweetdeck? First, I can have one column that contains all the tweets from all my accounts. Then I can ad additional columns for specific purposes, such as monitoring the mentions (@ replies) and direct messages from each account. This consolidation allows me to easily use all of my Twitter accounts from one piece of software without manually switching between those accounts. 

From the Tweetdeck Web Site...

"TweetDeck makes it easier for publishers, marketers and power users to track the real-time conversations they care about. It brings more flexibility and insight to power users through a customizable layout that lets you keep up with the people and topics that matter most to you. And, you can join the conversation by tweeting, sharing photos and links to news stories, and more."

Elsewhere Online: AT&T's Spam Filter Gets A Bit Too Aggressive

By
This story from TechDirt lays out yet another reason I recommend that folks DON'T use the email provided to them by their ISP. My typical recommendation right now is to get a Gmail account instead. It also points out why I want to manage all my SPAM on my end, without pre-filtering from an ISP. I will gladly manage my spam if it helps to insure that I see as many of my "real" messages as possible. Again, Gmail's tools work pretty good in this regard. Having an alternative email account also insures you will keep the same email, even if you decide to leave your current ISP. Witness all the folks holding onto AOL accounts just to keep their AOL email address. Thank goodness at least that is free now. AT&T's Spam Filter Gets A Bit Too Aggressive You can certainly understand why ISPs offer spam filters. It's a service for users who don't want to be totally bombarded with spam. But what I've never understood is that these ISPs rarely give the user a
