And I agree with you, twitter is a great forum to access some really great information. But it's more too, for I also do find it a great place to network, learn and help people out.
Thank you!!
. . . great photos on your web site.
Cheers,

I find great links every day using twitter and Tweetdeck. Tweetdeck makes it so much easier to use twitter with the RT link, "Other actions...", and the filters.
Thanks!
Don't misrepresent the fact that it is physically IMPOSSIBLE to read everyone's public tweets when you start following more than 5,000 or so people! Even during a low volume time! Tweetdeck is definitely a great tool in aggregating tweets, and grouping people into useful sub-categories etc.
I do agree with you though... The more people you follow, (and that follow you) the more information and useful you are as a fellow Twitter'er! It feels nice to have the capability to send a message to thousands of people at a second's notice that could potentially save a life, help a needy organization, spread breaking news, or MANY other potential situations!

See, I'd argue by following less but influential people (who are already retweeting, sharing http links, etc), you will spend less time playing with the tools and more time being productive.
I don't think that using technology to better service your community is a problem. Many people are already using filters to help sort their email for example.

As you point out, there is an incredible wealth of information being shared on Twitter. Whatever your interests are, on Twitter, there is sure to be an abundance of relevant resources. Being active and engaged with a lot of people on Twitter expands the opportunity for discovering and sharing.
Again, great job. Always enjoy your tweets!

Cheers mate and again, top notch job.
Great article!
Never thought about actually sharing cool tips like this on Tweetdeck. Awesome Jesse.
Article is bookmarked. Will send a tweet also.
Cheers..
The tips about the search filters to use are really useful. As an extra idea, if you post out a link, one of the best ways to see who has retweeted it is to search for the random numbers/letters at the end of the shortened link url.
Thanks Jesse!
I am using your tips and I appreciate it.
I agree with you on the group feature. It's really not workable when you have as many followers as you or me, etc. So I have to use searches.
I'm not using Tweetdeck yet but, now I've seen your helpful video, I'll give it a try!
Thank you
What's your opinion on having for instance TD for one information search account, and another app for personal use? My idea is I don't want to lose the possibility of instant replies to friends' public comments (that would only show up every 15 min with those TD settings)
I think we're only beginning to scratch the service of what we can do with TweetDeck and as Twitter grows and improvements are made to external products these little tweaks and tips will become not only important, but somewhat essential to your enjoyment of the service, especially if you wish to maximise it in the way that you encourage.
You have removed the fear I had of following too many people. Now I am excited because I will be able to effectively follow lots of people.
thanks again
I've been using Tweetdeck for quite a while now, and picked up lots of little tricks along the way, so the only reason I clicked a link that was tweeted that said "Tweetdeck tutorial" was because it also said "for following large numbers." I was really hoping to find more tidbits to help me use Tweetdeck more effectively, and I did!
Usually when I use filters, it's if I've had to step away from the computer and come back to loads of tweets. I'll filter by names that my columns seemed filled with, check them all out in a row, and then mark them as seen and clear them. It helps to make sure that I'm not missing users who only tweeted once while I was away, but would otherwise be flooded out by the frequent tweeters.
I'll occasionally use it when I know I just saw a tweet a couple minutes before, but can't remember who said it (or a link I opened and forgot the tweeter), but I never thought to search for http, ?, or please. All wonderful suggestions!
Thanks!!!
But I simply can't stomach how AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) reinvented the GUI widgets and Adobe's utter failure to observe any of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for Mac applications, which failure is inherited by TweetDeck and every other AIR-based application I've seen thus far.
Not to mention that TweetDeck seems to lack some of the simplest things (yes, I've tried to use it), like indicating that some tweets have been read in some nice obvious GUI-ish way like, oh, say, dimming the text (Twitterrific figured this one out pretty damn quick).
I've been experimenting with using my "with friends" RSS feed to Thunderbird (Mozilla Email client) to get this permanent filter effect, plus archiving of all tweets by keyword, and from there on down to the "with links" and "RT" examples you provide.
Basically going from the very specific to the non-specific, and ending up with a residual pool of link-less, asf. tweets that can be sliced & diced for research purposes, but that has to be deleted every so often to not slow T-bird down too much (I've had up to 150k tweets in that residual folder, and it was getting too slow to search). All your targeted tweets are archived though, and T-bird does NOT have an issue using up the Twitter API limit too fast, or hogging massive memory and then crash and lose your current tweets every so often.
