Something you haven't directly mentioned in the article is the #terms feature which seems to be growing by the day now. My explanation of a #term is where you place the theme of your Tweet as a word after the # symbol. So for instance when I write a Tweet about a cake I've just baked, I'll say "Just backed a nice sponge #Cake" or if I'm posting a photo of my travels I'd say "Here's a photo of me at the beach #Travel" Those #terms are really helpful when searching Twitter for subjects you might be interested in, or themes of Tweets you want to follow. It's possible to have TweetDeck constantly search for these terms to appear and tell you about them, all in their own personal column. www.twitter.com/roskelld Tweetdeck has really changed the way I use Twitter, it feels much more connected with it, where as previously using TwitterFox, I found the whole Twitter thing much more of a dip-in dip-out kind of application.
