My new favourite Twitter desktop AIR application (a UK product), Tweetdeck, has released a new version and overall it’s a doozy.
Lone developer Iain Dodsworth has made the interface is much cleaner, and has more useful icons. It has some UI tweaks like rolovers, a bunch of new URL shortening services so you can pick the one you like most. Thankfully, now the Tweet box background color goes red when there are less than 0 chars left.
Plus, there’s another update to come at the end of the week! Life is good.
Yeah this update is a real improvement. I had kept trying TweetDeck since its launch, but always returned to Twhirl. With this release I think TD may have just won me over.
Its nice, using it already, I am a never a fan of that Black look, but just being fussy. I had slight problem when exporting URL that the underline kept on going when I wanted to write more on the tweet. Otherwise it is very useful. Simon
There is a URL shortening problem, I have tried three times with different URLs
I have been avoiding tweetdeck- seems like an app for twitteraholics - but alas, I gave in with this new version. But I am still in denial.
