TweetDeck v0.19b Details

It's been far too long since the previous update so here is a bumper update just to make up for it. The biggest change is that the UI has been improved, the buttons have been replaced with icons and the column width has been reduced. In essence everything is a bit tighter and this allows much more UI room for future service integration.

New functionality in this version includes:

  • able to delete the All Tweets column so you can really filter the noise using groups
  • able to "turn off twitter updates" button in settings window so you can use TweetDeck purely as a desktop twitter search, 12seconds, TwitScoop client
  • added Refresh button to main UI window
  • able to follow or unfollow from the profile panel
  • able to favorite or unfavorite a tweet
  • able to mark a tweet as read or unread
  • able to delete a tweet from TweetDeck (not from twitter, just TweetDeck)
  • able to temporarily clear the column of all tweets
  • new Profile panel now includes live profile & tweet archive from twitter

A favorite column will be added very shortly.

I like it, except having icons only instead of icons + text is weird/difficult to use.

Hey! thanks for the add of the new features. I'm a UI/UX professional and I'd like to share a couple of interaction findings with you - if you're interested of course :) Just send me an email or we can IM. Keep up the great work!

PS I'd love to have the ability to make the font bigger :) My eyes aren't what they used to be ;)

Great work. Thank's for this update.

Any idea when you will add identi.ca support? It's the only thing keeping me with Twhirl.

I can't logout of the latest version 0.19b on a mac. There's no logout button.

That's right Ryan Shewchuk. I had not noticed, but it's same for me on my Mac.

@lain Sorry, I don't use identi.ca.

I'm not seeing a way to favorite a tweet on the Mac version. Roll-over of icon shows four icons: reply, dm, rt, and remove (clockwise from upper left)

Under the avatar, near the white point, on the right, you find a black star for favorite

Keyboard shortcuts would rock my world. Especially for "mark all read in the main Twitter column".

tweetdeck update seems to be having problems, the things replies are not replies, my groups don't pick up all the tweets.

A logout button has been added via a patch which is available at tweetdeck.com (see latest post). identi.ca support is coming :-)

How to bring up a search column in the new v0.19b. The button/answer is eluding me.

Have you tried clicking on the icon at the top which looks like a magnifying glass?

Phillip said...

Hi, definitely interested in you UX findings please email me hello @ tweetdeck.com

I love this app, but it still does not replace Twhirl. It would be a Twhirl killer (I would uninstall Twhirl) if it had 2 things: posting to Jaiku & Pownce like Twhirl. If Tweetdeck gets these features, then Twhirl can eat my dust :~)

I would love it, love it, love it, if I could manage multiple profiles from TweetDeck. Pretty please?

When you resize window to two (or one) column, left buttons (except Tweet) disappear.
