So what do I think? Well, in three words or less – I LOVE IT! At first it is a little overwhelming. After a couple of days I deleted them to make way for more columns on subjects of interest to me. Personally I find activities and interactions a little unnecessary. So, I signed up, which was super easy and I set up a few columns using hashtags such as #edtech, #bced, #cdned, and #alted. Tweetdeck automatically includes other columns like timeline what you would see if you stick with just twitter), interactions (tweets whenever your #name appears), and activities (basically whatever anyone else that you follow does i.e. icopilot1 has been kind enough to give a video walk-through of the new Tweetdeck.
Thankfully Tweetdeck options for home are still available, and according to some reviews, better than ever. Tweetdeck is great – for computers – not so for phones, tables, etc. Essentially, when Twitter bought Tweetdeck they decided to focus their energies on creating a better mobile version of Twitter and so canned the mobile version of Tweetdeck. It seems that anyone who uses Twitter, organizes their incoming tweets using Tweetdeck. So, here’s what I discovered.
In a recent discussion thread posted in my ETEC 590 class I asked people what they used as part of their PLNs and if they had aggregator preferences what were they. As I mentioned in a previous post, I had downloaded Google Reader to my phone during a previous course in order to follow classmates’ blogs but otherwise I hadn’t really used an aggregator before. So, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks searching out information on aggregators.
