This morning as I logged onto Twitter for #FollowFriday I noticed one of my followers used this application off of their computer called TweetDeck. So I got a little curious and clicked the link to see what exactly TweetDeck was.
I soon found out that it was an application for PC, MAC, or LINUX. So I was skeptical, I have tried a few applications similar to this in the past, usually they are slow, and don’t have many good features that a teen would have any use for.
But curiosity killed the cat as they say, so I launched TweetDeck. and what did I find? I found myself running a really amazing app that runs off of Adobe Air. So because it is souced out of Adobe Air, not only is it very fast, but it runs a snappy and clean interface as well.
After instlling it and only looking at the new, wonderful app for only a few seconds I started to snoop around and see what features this app had to see if it was worth keeping at all. When I snooped around I was quite amazed, actually blown away with features! This app litterally has it all for a social app, I will almost never need to go and log on to 4+ social sites every time I want to update/check statuses! Even as I type this I have Facebook status updates coming in to me so I know what my friends are doing with out having to stay on the Facebook page.
Anyway lets get down to business, here at TweetDeck’s huge list of features:
- Update Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and now Google Buzz and Foursquare

A while back we made a music video for an English class. We had to do a music video based on Hamlet the great American Novel.
The song made by B.O.B called Nothin On You was actually given to him by his friend Lupe Fiasco! Lupe, received no credit for B.O.B'.’s hit and I personally think that Lupe sounds a lot better in this than B.O.B.’s radio friendly version of Nothin On You.
