If you've been waiting to check out the latest version of TweetDeck, which displays Twitter streams in real time, now's your chance. Although the first sneak-peek was only available to a handful of people, the TweetDeck User Streams preview has now opened to everyone. Twitter has apparently decided that the new Users Streams API is stable enough and the Twitter servers are ready to handle the ...

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 ...

This week brings more progress in Twitter's advertising plan, as ads are about to be injected into the Twitter API. What does that mean to the average user? Well, for one thing, you'll start seeing sponsored tweets in your third-party apps over the next few months. Twitter has added Promoted Trends and Promoted Tweets to the API, and they'll be tested in desktop apps before they move on to ...

Twitter's real-time streaming API is the biggest deal in Twitterland this week, as it enables Twitter apps to show you every tweet as it happens. Only a couple of apps have access so far -- including Tweetdeck and Echofon -- and the demos we're seeing are startling. You knew there were a lot of tweets flying around out there, but it's a totally different and overwhelming thing to see them like ...

Want more Twitter followers? Want them enough that you'd pay for it? Well, Twitter might about to let you do just that. Mashable reports that Twitter is considering a "promoted tweeters" service, much like its current "Promoted Tweets" advertising. You'd basically pay to have your account featured, thus collecting an increase in followers. It's still not clear what this product would look ...

Tuesday's here again, and Apple has really made things interesting for us at this little Twitter column. Folks are pretty set in their ways about which Twitter clients to use on established platforms, but with the iPad launch this weekend, there's new territory up for grabs. Today, Twitter Tuesday takes a special look at some tweeting options on Apple's new platform. Of course, we'll hit all ...

Tweetdeck's latest update brings support for Twitter's most recent new features, including lists and geotagging. In fact, if you're gaga over Twitter lists, I'd venture to say that Tweetdeck is probably the client for you. Tweetdeck's groups feature, which has been one of its biggest selling points since it started, has been rolled into lists. Your old groups will still be there, but new groups ...

Twitter fanatics were disappointed when the hotly-anticipated update to Tweetdeck's iPhone app was pulled from the app store due to bugs, but it's available again today. The upgrade is a big one, including some of the most important features of the Tweetdeck desktop version. The biggest deal might be Facebook integration, a feature that keeps Tweetdeck competitive with its main desktop rival, ...

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 ...

There's an entire class of Twitter clients that focus on filtering "noise" from Twitter by allowing you to group the people you follow, so you only have to read what you want. Tweetdeck is the most popular of these, and Mixero is a new one that looks like it could be big. The problem this kind of client solves is entirely artificial. In fact, I'd say there's a very good chance that the people ...

If you've been using TweetDeck without a dual-display setup, it's just about time for you to make a purchase. With newly-announced support for Facebook, you're going to need some more real estate. The release comes two short days after Twhirl frontman Loic Le Meur announced that Seesmic had released a standalone Facebook app which, like TweetDeck, is built on Adobe Air. Setup involves logging in ...

TweetDeck is a desktop client for Twitter build on Adobe AIR. Nothing new there. That sentence could have described Twhirl, Snitter, or Alert Thingy. But TweetDeck has a few features up its sleeve that other Twitter clients lack. The most noticeable difference is that TweetDeck has a multi-column view. You can glance at all of the latest tweets from your contacts in one column, see replies in ...
