TweetDeck, My Love Where Art Thou?

Posted under:
October 7th, 2008

So about 3 weeks ago I was messing around on Twitter and was getting tired of having to constantly refresh the window just to get updates. Even with thier new layout you still have to refresh the window for updates unless I am missing something? Anyways back on topic.

I scoured around looking for a Twitter application and happened to find TweetDeck. It uses Adobe’s AIR application and makes the user interface really sleek. So I downloaded Adobe AIR and installed TweetDeck. You wanna know what happened. Well beforehand I had only about 90 updates on my Twitter account, after installing TweetDeck that same day I had about 100 more tweets! TweetDeck made it EXTREMELY easy for me to keep up with everything that was going on with their multiple column setup.

Sometime last week I go to load up my beloved TweetDeck only to find that it had stopped working! It acts like it loads up fine but nothing updates and when I click on the icons nothing happens :( I tried reinstalling hoping that that would work but to no avail. So I tried reinstalling Adobe AIR and then TweetDeck and still nothing. I don’t know what went wrong, I just tried out the newest version of TweetDeck released today and still nothing. This really sucks, I absolutely loved TweetDeck, it made everything so much easier. Right now I am using TwitKit but if TweetDeck can get working again I would be back to using it.

I sent them an email a few days ago about my problem but haven’t heard back so maybe this post will get some attention? Please oh please, whoever wrote TweetDeck please help me!

    I didn’t believe that you would do a TweetDesk bitch session. Nice work. So what puzzles me is why there isn’t any more than TWO Google Desktop Twitter applications? The two that are available totally suck. Which really leaves me with no solution. I like having the Google Desktop sidebar and there isn’t a gadget that works for me on Twitter. I have no clue what to do. Oh well… Good luck with TweetDesk, I didn’t like it one bit, but I do appreciate you giving me the reference to try it.

    Maybe if TweetDeck sees this they will implement a Google Desktop version.

    This cracks me up- the exact same thing happened to me. I would have hoped it would have been fixed by now but seems to be a frequent issue. I’m using TwitKit now and loving it. :)

    @Dennis - What’s Twitter? You have never heard of Twitter!?!?!?!

    Twitter.com - Twitter is micro-blogging. You sign up with an account and follow people and they have the option to follow you. You can “tweet” about anything you want but you only have 140 characters to do it.

    It is pretty neat actually and while it is not popular in the main stream media, it is very popular among internet marketers. Most people that comment frequently on this blog can be found on Twitter. You should definitely try it out. You can find the link to my Twitter account in the sidebar on the right hand side. Just click the blue T.

    Well that test is complete - I guess sarcasm really does lose something in text mode. LMAO!

    What is your username on Twitter….I’m not following you :( Unless I somehow skipped over your name without noticing.
