TWEETDECK ICONS MISSING FOR MAC

It was also the first app to use the word “tweet” to refer to the posts on the network, and introduced many modern staples like conversations and replies.

Twitterrific has been around for quite a while now, and was the very first native Twitter application ever built for Mac.

TWEETDECK ICONS MISSING FOR MAC

Right below Twitter for Mac you’ll find Twitterrific. You may recognize the official Twitter app along with some of the most popular and prolific third-party clients. I’ll stick with it for a while and see what happens, but in the meantime, I’m curious to hear from those who’ve used TweetDeck.If you open the Mac App Store right now and do a search for “twitter,” you’ll find results just like the ones in the image above. The features are interesting, but the interface takes up far too much space on the desktop and is probably a lot more than the average Twitterer (like myself) needs. It’s big, it has a lot of options, but I think that if you don’t have a huge following to manage, it’s overkill. So far the consensus seems to be that TweetDeck is an application for the serious Twitterratti. Apparently, this is Twitter’s answer to video clips.

Well, the world didn’t end when I did click, but TweetDeck’s interface did gray out and present me with updates for “”. When you mouse over it, it displays “12seconds”.ġ2 seconds until what? I’m afraid to click it. There are various views (all tweets, followers, retweet, direct messages, etc.), but there’s also an icon that indicates “12”. The other icons in the toolbar are self-explanatory. There’s also a button for TwitPic – another mystery to me. What I like about the new text area is that it includes another field below the updates box for URLs and a button to shorten the link as well. There was the text box for entering my oh-so-many updates. I couldn’t find it! I moused over the icons at the top and found the little quote bubble (the first icon in the row of tools at the top). The next thing that had me grumbling was the “What Are You Doing” area. (This coming from someone who has two oversized monitors.) I can only imagine how much space TweetDeck consumes on smaller screens or laptops. The interface is HUGE and eats up far more real estate than Twhirl does. I have to admit I felt disoriented the first time I opened TweetDeck.

You can watch a fast demo direct from Rhodester. If you want a single column, just click on the icon for single columns in the upper right corner of the window. You can add more columns depending on how you organize followers and followees. The basic view includes a column for incoming Tweets, a second column for replies, and a third for direct messages. The application enables Tweeters to break down and organize contacts across several columns rather than Twhril’s single-column interface. TweetDeck is an Adobe Air application like Twhirl, and TweetDeck is Twhirl on steroids. I liked the crow icon, which is much more fitting for the desktop of the Lord of the Underworld (that’s me) than Twitter’s bluebird of happiness. While checking my Twitter homepage recently, though, I noticed a few people sending responses from TweetDeck, and I decided to check it out. I’ll turn it on for a day or two, get bored and forget about it for another few weeks. Some late-night surfing yielded a new tool called “ TweetDeck“.
