![]() In TweetDeck, I tried but he didn’t come up in the suggestions. Terrible username lookup: I was about to tag Rick Wilson in a tweet. So when you start typing, presuming, of course, that the software won’t fail you, you wind up calling up all sorts of keyboard shortcuts instead of writing your actual tweet! Why?īad mouse-selector-pointer-cursor-location control: Type part of a tweet, tab away, tab back, and now your text is unselected. Terrible Gif/Video support: In-stream, videos fail more often than they work. ![]() Now you have sent two DMs in a row, and you feel bad. Sometimes it will jam altogether! If you can open a DM and type out a reply, TweetDeck often won’t update the UI for some time to reflect what you’ve sent, so you might think that your DM didn’t go through, and resend it. Good luck finding those! And when you click on a DM, or group DM, the UI will often lag. Terrible DM support: Some DMs don’t load in TweetDeck at all. It’s mostly text! In small boxes! Running on my Core i7 Macbook Pro (with 16 gigs of RAM), how does it begin to gasp and stutter after use, forcing a reboot? Poor memory usage: TweetDeck is a huge memory hog on PCs and Macs alike. Here are a few things in TweetDeck that could be fixed: However, I’d vote that New Web Twitter’s issues are nothing compared to problems that TweetDeck harbors. But as we’ve seen from public reaction to the recently launched New Twitter Web experience, for example, the company is still fumbling the ball. Twitter degrading and deprioritizing its third-party client ecosystem wouldn’t have been that bad if the company had taken it upon itself to build first-rate apps. Twitter wanted to control its ad experience, I presume, and thus culled the projects that built the clients that drove its early adoption. As a bit of history, Twitter bought TweetDeck when it was building its own apps and cutting down on third-party clients ( more here ). And we, the Power Tweeters, often use TweetDeck, a tool that Twitter bought in 2011. I’m not alone in my obsession (addiction?). And aside from Chrome and Slack, it’s the thing I use the most on both OS X and Windows 10. Twitter is the app I use most on my phone. It’s the first thing I check in the day, the last thing I scan at night. Around 200,000 tweets later (most deleted in a purge) I’m still in love with the social broadcast service. It made Twitter feel both more real-time, and more conversational. ![]() Twhirl changed the game as far as I was concerned. It was 2008, give or take, and I had joined Twitter the year before but found little use for it. What was the first client you really used? Mine was Twhirl.
