TweetDeck Tips

For all the Twitter users out their who use TweetDeck, I’ve created a list of  Here a couple of tips for using TweetDeck more effectively. I’ll add more as they’re discovered. I hope this helps.

* Filter by Username – At the bottom of each column is a set of icons. Click the one that’s on the far left. A small area will appear with 2 dropdowns and a text box. Update the first dropdown so the ‘Username’ criteria is selected, the type the username  of your desired friend.

* Filter by Keyword -  Just like the previous tip, Click the icon that’s on the far left. A small area will appear with 2 dropdowns and a text box. Update the first dropdown so the ‘Tweet Text’ criteria is selected, then update the second dropdown so the ‘-‘ is selected, then type the word you want to filter by. If I wanted to not see any sports score the bottom of my column would read like ‘Tweet Text  -  score’

* Display a conversation – Often, there are times a person you follow is conversing with someone else, and you’re interested in the conversation. Here’s how you can see it.  I’m currently following @anthonyrstevens. in his tweet in the ‘All Friends’ column, he says “@fva something interesting”. click on @fva which will bring up her profile with all of her tweets on the right side of your window. To further narrow things down, use the Filter by Username trick you just learned to narrow the list of tweets.
