What Do You Think About TweetDeck?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed One person who called the live stream recently wanted to know my thoughts on the TweetDeck application. It’s good enough, I suppose. I happen to feel it’s too cluttered, and doesn’t have a good user experience overall. It is running on [...]
