Facebook Plunges Again
Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
TweetDeck for Android is the future of TweetDeck, and it's out now
We told you in this week's Twitter Tuesday that TweetDeck was due to hit Android any day, and lo and behold, it's now in beta! Android users who've been looking to try out one of the most popular third-party Twitter clients can download TweetDeck for Android by following the instructions on TweetDeck's blog post.iPhone users, get jealous: the Android version of TweetDeck has features that the iPhone app doesn't have yet (although they're coming soon!). The much-demanded "Me" column is here, showing all your incoming replies and comments on Twitter, Facebook and Buzz. That's just one example of new "blended columns": that's right, you can combine Facebook , Twitter and Buzz in the same column. I know the Ghostbusters warned us never to cross the streams, but this is pretty cool.
The UI has also been revamped, and a "Contacts" page for easy access to your favorite friends has been added. We'll have a more in-depth look at TweetDeck for Android once we've had a chance to put it through its paces, but the first glimpse looks quite good indeed.

I have to go to their site and create an account...I'll pass.

You need an account to use TweetDeck properly in the first place, and you also need an account to post here - so what's your problem?

In that case definitely not. I have enough accounts. Why is the account needed for the app?

Absolutely stunned by the app and it's only the first beta. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Free or commercial?

Do you know that app is fake? http://twitter.com/TweetDeck/status/21094810139
So, the iPhone app is still the best. ;)

Actually it isn't. It is an actual beta release that is not in the Market. There have been a few jerks who took that beta apk and uploaded it to the Market as their own, charging money for it.

One word of warning though. If you go to their support forums, beware of posting there. The RSS feed for the forum there displays poster's email addresses. The only way to change that is to edit your profile changing the display name from your email address. But you have to do so every time you log in. I reported that leak to them, but they have yet to temporarily remove the feed nor have they let users know. Having your email address displayed in the RSS feed gives third parties and spammers your personal info that you didn't give permission for.
Hopefully that gets fixed.
