    I use my Twitter account by 'feeding' it with my forum threads through TwitterFeed. Then, I have my Twitter 'feeding' into my FaceBook account. It's been a FANTASTIC way to network and promote my site(s) using the social networking circuit :)

    Here's my Twitter: Arnold Varona (TheWDBoards) on Twitter

    Yes, I signed up a few months ago, didn't really use it but I downloaded TweetDeck a while back. It's become a very cool tool to use to get my Tweets. :D

    Boss, I haven't started to use TweetDeck yet, but I will be doing that soon! :D

    I hear it's a great way to keep track and respond to the Tweets out there.

    It sure is, Arny! Otherwise I wouldn't be updating my Twitter much. Well, I could but I can't. I'm using this Twitter extension for Firefox, but every time I clear my cookies the extension logs me out of my Twitter account. It got really annoying until I read some posts on various sites and started exploring Twitter.com

    I ended up finding a page they have where they recommended some Twitter tools, and TweetDeck looked like the interesting one out of the bunch.

    I prefer Twhirl over Tweetdeck.

    Nick, you tried both and liked Twhirl better? Why did you like it better?

    I haven't used either, so I'm just on a research mission here :D

    I've never used either one - I've always just used the direct web interface. :p

    Well Tweetdeck just didn't impress me. I don't know why. I quickly turned to whatever alternative came my way and it happened to be Twhirl.
    Twhirl is like an instant messaging window with all the tabs I need to do everything without ever visiting Twitter (for the most part). It's slim and it just 'clicks' with me. I enjoy it very much.

    Twhirl is being retired.. It had a short but useful life. Seesmic Desktop is its successor.

    I use Tweetdeck. It's great for keeping messages and replies organized.

    Didn't like Tweetdeck personally. It took up too much space on my desktop and I found it hard to manage the columns and accounts. I currently use Seesmic Desktop which is like Twhirl's big brother. It does what I need when I need to do it. Not hard to manage and allows me to find what I need to find easily enough. Columns are easy to manage as well so when I collapse them, I don't actually lose them and I don't have to worry about my primary column.

    Ok I just downloaded the Seesmic Desktop and I do like it better than Tweetdeck.
    Thanks Wayne.
