Anyone who's in a position to use Tweetdeck instead of Twitter's web UI will find a free, Twitter-maintained, product with no annoying algorithms and no advertising.

It's the version of Twitter targeted at newsrooms, etc.

I assume a lot of people already know and have reasons why they don't... but likely not everyone here has tried it so it may be worth repeating.

Wow--this exists?

I had heard of Tweetdeck, but I assumed that it was a third-party client which provided a better experience and was therefore at odds with Twitter's interests. You're telling me that, not only is Twitter okay with it, but that they built it?

It was independent then Twitter bought it.

The original TweetDeck was an Adobe AIR application. Twitter bought it, and then rewrote it as a website. So it could be argued that they built it.

There were alternatives before such as Seesmic, no idea how they work now, if they still do.

This has evolved quite a bit since I last tried it - thanks for the reminder!

It says I have messages, but I don't seem to have figured out how to view them.
