TweetDeck ups the Twitter List ante for all Twitter apps

When Twitter added lists not only was there a race to build (and get on) lists, but Twitter clients to add support for them. Over the past few weeks I’ve watched Hootsuite, Nambu, and others add Twitter Lists support all the while waiting for my favourite Twitter tool, TweetDeck to add support. This morning the wait is over and I think TweetDeck has upped the ante for all Twitter clients, and they did it by making themselves less essential, but more valuable at the same time.
One of the things I’ve [...]

Twitter is what you make of it

by Tris Hussey on June 3, 2009 · 0 comments

in Internet Life, Social Media, Web 2.0

Yet another post about Twitter’s much studied demographics. Like most cool, new (or newly mainstream) things people want to define it. To study it. To dissect it like a hapless amphibian and figure out if by looking inside we can understand it as a whole.
We’ve heard about the 60% drop off rate (which means that a 40% stay, which is still pretty damn good and there is no metric for people who come back in a couple months) and now we’re hearing that the majority of people don’t tweet, but [...]

Mac Twitter Apps Showdown: TweetDeck, Nambu, Tweetie for Mac

by Tris Hussey on April 20, 2009 · 12 comments

in Internet Life, Social Media

Beyond the post Oprah-on-Twitter hype, the majority of folks I know and chat with on a regular basis are tweeting business as usual. So while Ashton, CNN, and Oprah were getting headlines and new Mac Twitter app was being chatted about in my Twitter stream.
Tweetie for Mac is a desktop app brought to you by the same folks who brought us Tweetie the iPhone app. The first public beta dropped today, and despite my attempts to get it early, I had to wait until today to give it a try. [...]

Tweetdeck getting funding isn’t crazy, it’s the next move forward: stuff that works

Yeah I love TweetDeck , it’s open all the time and one of the first things I installed on my netbook. TweetDeck is the only way I’ve found I can get much out of Twitter at all. Iain is a very talented guy and eventhough I didn’t “get” TweetDeck at first, now I do.
Om Malik thinks Iain getting $500k in angel funding is a sing of Twitter insanity, I have to strongly disagree.

TweetDeck freakin’ works. Everyone who I’ve turned on to it [...]

Could a Twitter app become a light RSS reader?

by Tris Hussey on November 18, 2008 · 9 comments

in RSS, Web 2.0

Since getting hooked on TweetDeck over the summer,it has become an indispensable part of my “infocentre”. In my TweetDeck setup I have a column just for these “news” tweets, just for info streams from posts as Mark describes:
The interesting thing is if you follow enough bloggers on Twitter using an auto-feed service, your Twitter stream starts to look lot like a streaming RSS reader with new posts popping up on a regular basis. Getting notifications about new blog posts is a useful alternative to your RSS reader because blog posts [...]

Lifestreaming to Infostreaming: The what’s next?

by Tris Hussey on October 20, 2008 · 3 comments

in Internet Life, Social Media, Web 2.0

Mark Krynsky of the Lifestream Blog wrote a pretty damn intriguing guest post on Louis Gray’s blog postulating that lifestreaming is the next evolution of “what’s next” and I might be inclined to agree with him:
Companies are slowly starting to understand social media. They should also start thinking about how to improve communication internally for a well informed workforce. Creating rich workstreams by aggregating real-time data on an internal network can help achieve this. I see a resurgence of rich intranets like this starting to happen soon. [...]
