Twitter made TweetDeck a piece of crap with the last version. I stopped using it :(

What is the app in the first slide? Looks interesting, but there are no clues in the article

I farcically tweeted an abridged version of what's below back in Oct. The 140-character limit wouldn't let me flesh it out.

Do all tweets go into the Library of Congress? Will there be a typed card for each tweet, like in an old-fashioned card catalog?
“Aw, I don’t know, Ms. Ahearn, just type on the back of Poe’s original 3x5 note cards.”

But your Slide 4 indicates the Library of Congress actually is archiving tweets. Lord, have mercy. Lincoln’s complete bibliography along with countless proclamations of “Party at our place tonite, dude.”

I use Seesmic instead of Tweetdeck; I like it much better. I also use Netvibes.

I'm surprised I don't see Hootsuite on your list. Love it for following multiple streams, scheduling tweets, analytics and more

I take it seriously because, as a small business owner, it has increased my traffic by about 60%. It has also made me sales. :)

My favorite social networking app. Twitter is more customize-able than FB and I like the interface more. I hardly ever use FB but am on Twitter everyday..
