TweetDeck for the web and Chrome updated with column filters, gives users the right to censor

Posted on 19/02/2013 by Mark Hearn

Twitter's acquisition of TweetDeck definitely ruffled some feathers, but unlike other purchases made by the social network, there appears to be a future for this once-celebrated application. Available today by way of a browser restart, the blue bird has rolled out a new set of filters for TweetDeck's web and Chrome apps that allow users to fine-tune what content their columns track. The new Showing option manages what your timeline displays, such as tweets with images, videos, links or any other type of media. The Matching and Excluding filters give the option to search for keywords in your feed that you wish to blacklist or single out. Rounding out this list of new features is the ability to enable or exclude retweets from your setup. Sure, seeing your words quoted a few times can be an ego boost, but a continuous echo can get annoying after a while.

Tweetdeck's the choice for many a Twitter power user, but for Mac people, the only way to embed tweets using the platform was to do so through the Chrome or web client. No longer. Tweetdeck for Mac was updated today to bring not only the ability to embed your 140-character musings, but also myriad bug fixes and performance upgrades. Well, what are you waiting for? Head on down to the source and grab the new code now.

TweetDeck for the web and Chrome gains ability to embed tweets, not much else

Posted on 12/12/2012 by Edgar Alvarez

TweetDeck today announced a new feature that may not nab it any design or productivity awards, but, still, it'll surely be appreciated by some power users of the Twitter-owned client. And while the ability to embed tweets isn't exactly novel at this point (Twitter's had it for many months), it's still nice to now have the option present on both the web and Chrome versions of the application -- which, in turn, should make it easier to insert select snippets from the Blue Bird social network into your personal website or blog. Besides the "Embed this Tweet," TweetDeck didn't make any other additions, though the service did make it clear that it spends "a lot of time improving TweetDeck for a large consumption of Tweets, as this is one of the core uses of the product." Onto the next one then.

TweetDeck gets a makeover, new update brings themes and improved fonts

Posted on 10/10/2012 by Mark Hearn

If you're a social media junkie and TweetDeck is your pusherman, you may or may not be happy to know that the Twitter-owned application has received a cosmetic update -- one which inches the platform further away from the post-buyout product that power users once knew and loved. While subtle, the latest software bump brings enhanced, adjustable fonts and a brand new "lighter theme" that features dark text against a light background. The update is now available for Windows, Chrome and Mac web users. As for you app fans, Chrome and Windows requires a restart, while Mac users will need to visit the App Store. Those looking to keep it retro can always get their download on at OldApps.

TweetDeck for the web slips in expanded tweets and header photos

Posted on 26/09/2012 by Jon Fingas

TweetDeck is Twitter's professional desktop client, though you might not always know it given that the app is sometimes out of step with its more pedestrian siblings. Today, Twitter is presenting a unified front in a more timely fashion. The web versions of TweetDeck now show the expanded tweets and header photos that reached the iPad and mobile apps a week ago. No major surprises are waiting in the wings save for the absence of a matching update to the native Mac and Windows apps -- hopefully, that's a gap that closes soon.

Tweetbot for Mac’s latest alpha adds experimental ‘snap-together’ column layout

Posted on 03/08/2012 by Mat Smith

Tweetbot's been offering a rough-around-the-edges alpha version on its upcoming refresh for a few weeks now, but it's the latest update that's caught our attention -- again. There's several substantial changes that could tempt you away from other desktop Twitter clients. These include a new multiple account view, with separate columns that can either be docked to your main feed or left in their own window. You can spin out mentions and search results into their own space, and even adjust each column's height and width -- if you're looking to squeeze even more Twitter content into a single screen. A new menu bar icon offers access to your multiple accounts, new tweets, direct messages and mentions, while the latest build also improves support for media upload and Mountain Lion's notification bar. Tweetbot's alpha is still free to try for now, but once the kinks are eventually worked out, expect to pay for the finished article.

Posted on 27/07/2012 by Edgar Alvarez

Now that yesterday's sudden Twitter outage is behind us, it's now time to focus on the blue bird's own, and very popular client, TweetDeck. The all-you-can-tweet service has quietly updated its internet-based client with some minor, but rather eye-pleasing tweaks. For starters, users profiles have received a slight design improvement for an overall "cleaner" look, while hashtags and mentions are now #clickable throughout TweetDeck's web offering. These changes are now live, so head over to the TD site, enter your microblogging credentials and you should be all set to give 'em a whirl.
