It’s all about TweetDeck. For Mac, Windows and Linux. (Written via Adobe Air, you’ll need that installed.) This program lets you create groups so you can effectively filter the people you are following. In my screenshot, I made an “A List” with the people’s tweets that I don’t want to miss. The columns for Replies and Direct Messages are preset by the program and made good sense for me. In fact, there was a reply that I never saw until I installed TweetDeck. Sorting the messages this way really helps me make more effective use of Twitter.
In fact, within a few hours of using TweetDeck, I was able to finally win one of Rahul Sood‘s cool contests for a VooDoo keyboard! He has a great feed. David Pogue is of course enjoyable. I use Icanhascheezburger for humor, but then I found out that someone’s cat is tweeting (“the poop is coming from inside the litterbox get out get out”) – and that feed is the bomb, I tells ya! Now if we could just get Stewie to tweet!
