TweetDeck: Desktop client for Twitter helps you organize the chaos
by Brad Linder Jul 7th 2008 at 6:00PM
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 another, and direct messages in a third. Or you can create groups of contacts (for example, a group of all your favorite Download Squad bloggers on Twitter), and see just updates from those contacts in a column.
You can customize the display by adding up to 10 columns, or removing columns you don't need. The display is also resizable. There are no themes and no way to adjust the font yet. But the application is still in beta.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Word of caution - if you run Twirl and TweetDeck, sending in Tweets from both clients, you'll use up your allowed number of API hits twice as fast.

Are you seriously going to update us every day about new ways to feed Twitter, an app which is based on the concept that the world wants to know what you're doing every second? If that concept isn't flawed and self-serving, then I don't know what it. Please keep the Twitter-Updates on DS down, or at least put them all together once per week instead of spamming DS with it. Please!

Can someone explain to me how Twitter is useful? I'm not flaming; I really want to know. I don't use it, I'm not social enough to consider using it, and I don't really see the value in having a sentence or two of information.
My only experience of Twitter is on the Joystiq.com website. Some of the twitter comments are useless to me: "Ludwig and I are watching Jeopardy in HD!", while others are useless in a different way: "PS3 firmware update out now tinyurl69rtyl.com" The second one is useless to me because i'm already on the joystiq website. If I want to know more about the PS3 firmware update, I can just scroll down, instead of copying and pasting and opening a new tab for the tinyurl.
Anyways, enlighten me : )
