SOCIAL TOOL : Tweetdeck , Improves Twitter Experience !

Twitter can be a confusing mess. Once you've started following 10 or more people,it becomes really difficult to keep up with all the updates.. the further you scale up the less practical it becomes it becomes to read every single post, and then of course important information might slip past undetected.Even worse,some people post updates constantly and searches for real-time news,which twitter excels at update far too quickely to be read . Twitter allows users to create list in order to filter users, but the website interface is clunky at best.

The solution lies in separating Twitter as as service from its own website.If it wasn't for mobile phone clients,we'd never have the kind of real time updates and photo sharing that we do today. Similarly,dozens of third party clients exist for the desktop,which improve upon the default experience in some way.

Tweetdeck's genius feature is the organization of Twitter lists columns that are displayed simultaneously and can be read at a glance. You can also quickly create and edit lists, allowing you to weed out people who spam your timeline and cultivates those whose posts are genuinely useful . Search results are displayed in their own columns, which can easily be left visible or knocked off when they aren't useful anymore. Most importantly you can immediately see when you have new mentions and direct messages, which are easy to miss on the Actual Twitter page.

Tweetdeck have completely changed the way of using Twitter.More than twitter itself , Tweetdeck have Improved the way Twitter works.
