There’s a lot of talk these days about who was interested in Google – Facebook – and who apparently isn’t – Google – but there doesn’t seem be any speculation about one of the hottest services within the Twittersphere: TweetDeck.
A desktop client built on Adobe’s AIR platform, TweetDeck is used by nearly 10% of Twitter users to write and read posts. Part of TweetDeck’s appeal is its interface has a multi-view dashboard of your Twitter world – your livestream, replies to you, direct messages, a tag cloud, searches, and lots of other nice features.
When people ask me about using Twitter, one of my initial recommendations is using TweetDeck, mostly because it enhances the Twitter experience, and it’s a huge leap forward from using Twitter.com.
With Twhirl being acquired by Seesmic last year, I would have thought TweetDeck would have been purchased already but it has remained independent, and continued to add new features.
Given Twitter is the hottest online platform, it will be interested to see who steps up to the plate for TweetDeck.

In fact I think TweetDeck is one of the best choices considering the currently available Twitter Desktop clients. Particularly I like TweetDeck because of multi-column interface and ease of Tweeting, Replying and Retweeting
for Mac, Eventbox and Alert Thingy 3.0 are worth a try
I tried Alert Thingy but didn't like it for whatever reason. I'll check out Eventbox – been meaning to try it for awhile.
I have started using tweetdeck and like it a lot used to twhril
TweetDeck does it for me both on the Mac and a Windows pc. But I don't understand why the app uses up so much memory.
hmm.
Will also take a look at Eventbox and Alert Thingy 3.0
