Facebook Plunges Again
Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
TweetDeck supercharges Facebook features, adds MySpace(?) support
TweetDeck's homepage now proudly proclaims "Bring your friends closer with Facebook and MySpace."
Yes, it's true. Now you can see updates from both of your friends who are still on MySpace right in TweetDeck. On a related note, NewEgg is running a nice Hanns-G 28" monitor for $309, which you'll probably need to in order to fit all your damn columns on a single screen at this point.
On to more practical concerns. TweetDeck .3 also adds more powerful Facebook integration features. Page owners can now submit updates from within the app, media support has been improved, and photo albums can be viewed without jumping to your browser. If you've been waiting to group Facebook friends like those you follow on Twitter, this is your update - it's now possible.
Drag-and-drop support has been added and it makes sharing photos dead simple. The TweetDeck interface has also been given a tidy, with some functions now moved into sub-menus.
Bit.ly integration has been improved as well, and you can now tie in your account to take better advantage of bit.ly's tracking kung fu. Links Tweetdeck also auto-shortens links right in the update field - no extra button pressing required!
It's a solid update, and I'm certain that Tom will want to be your friend even more if you download Tweetdeck .3.

Sounds good, but it's just completely bloated. You have to install Adobe Air, you can't resize columns, only delete them, the skin is black, black or black, in fact it's the complete opposite of Twitter, which is small and quick. TweetDeck is like using an SUV on a golf course.

Actually, just FYI, you can opt for Narrow columns in TweetDeck to save screen width.
Also you can customise the colour scheme to your heart's content, so it doesn't just have to be "black, black, black" ;)
Nice write-up, thanks guys.
