> TweetDeck is useless.

It is now, but it wasn't always so. At some point it was simply the 'better twitter ui'.

And that's why they had to kill it. Instead of investing the time and effort to make the real UI better, their plan was simply to make other clients worse until everyone was forced back onto one giant web platform that they can monetise with adverts.

Unfortunately, it looks a lot like Facebook's playbook.

> I honestly wonder what social media managers with, say, a dozen or more social media accounts (not just Twitter) actually use.

I've wondered this as well and I've come to the horrible conclusion that many do it manually. Which is a real shame. Listening to people who do a TON of social media stuff (like Gary Vee) all seem to say they just log in and out of accounts constantly.

LastPass probably makes this easier but that's still gotta be a pain.

Edit: I had no idea about Hootsuite, etc. Hmm. Maybe the doing it manually that I heard about was limited to SnapChat?

Multiple users in Chrome seems to be a viable workaround. But I really miss the old Tweetdeck before the buyout even if it means I had to install Adobe Air...

Hootsuite or Sproutsocial

Many use HootSuite.
